    Looks like the first tramline fall that has required an ambulance and road closure - to eens usual hateful reaction.

    All depressingly predictable.m

    to eens usual hateful reaction

    I guess some people have nothing going on in their lives, so they fill up time by posting hateful things online. ("See ya, wouldn't want to be ya".)

    I no longer cycle eastwards on Princes St. It's just too dangerous, IMO.

    But I have the luxury of picking and choosing my bike rides. Commuters don't always have the same luxury.

  3. I got three comments in, these people really are mindless idiots who I hope are proud of the bile they're able to summon up for their fellow man. And I hope they never make a mistake, or require any sympathy from anyone.

    I have a choice on my daily commute heading east. I could go down ardmillan to Haymarket and then along to princes street. Or I can go straight on along to fountain pk and in along the cowgate.

    I opt for the latter.

    If I have to go near princes street I go along George st then cut down from St. Andrews sq as it is easier to cross tram lines there.

    Whilst I agree that cyclists should be allowed to use any suitable road, I would say using roads north or south of princes street makes sense and that commuters should consider these detours to their routes as viable options.
