CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Apologies for repeat thread
Went there tonight, very groovy. Last night tomorrow until 9pm old college quad
In original post I cannot find there was mention of bike racks up big flight of steps. I came in the back way and the racks were down three steps. Tho did not bother with racks. Many cyclists there. All good.
When I was there last year, entering through the main arch from S Bridge, the bike racks were up a lot of steps with no stepfree route to get to them that I could find. Where is this back way in?
Heading west along chambers st until you get to the end of the old college building a little cobbled lane runs between old college and the museum turn left up the lane. About half way up on the left hand side is a door, a big door but definitely a door, it is usually open. You can wheel your bike through and you are then on the terrace around what use to be the old college car park and is now the warriors light show. Rackets are down three steps.
If going in the main entrance can you not take a right and cycle on to the terrace and cycle round to the racks. I am not suggesting this as it is a bit like a pavement. Just take my route. Tis is also always the way I would go in to the Talbot rice Gallery, well when I were a nipper and went to that gallery.
Lotsa racks just inside main entrance on South Bridge.
Maybe get free cup of tea from the nice people running the show, they had cups hot water and tea bags tonight, just at the arch
Front entrance - up steps then round - not visible from ground, but close to main teaching rooms at least. Back entrance - as gembo says down a short flight there is one rack. But to get to other racks there are more and longer up and down flights.
Not adequate.
Grumpy? Moi?
