    Dear All

    Over the weekend the west coates access to the NEPN, roseburn terrace/kew gardens junction are restricted by the 1 lane east and west roadworks on the A8. Please note that the workies have helpfully left the roadworks signs in the Eastbound cycle lane, also i found cycling inside the coned off area safer than mixing it with the laned traffic. There is plenty room to move safely and your nowhere near the roadworks.
    You can see they have stripped the tarmac back the original setts, interesting.

    I cycled in this way this morning and agree that cycling up the side of the roadworks with the cones on my right was ok, just got to watch out when you merge back with traffic. I was also impressed with the original road surface, not a mark in it and not a hole in sight. With that kind of base it makes you wonder what rubbish they are using to lay the roads.

    I will be cycling this route tonight so that i can comment on this thread in detail tomorrow with my findings... Sounds interesting. Non cyclists just do not understand cycling in the cones ! :/

    @ Guydingle, aye i ken, but when you get through there, you "get the vibe" that drivers etc are glad your not in the road, and are not hindering them or the works either, time of day dependent of course.
