I think the new board on the north side make this more doable. I fear that the guy my workmate encountered felt he had as much right to be on a boardwalk as a family walking. Now we can agree to differ but the thing is not called a board cycle and there is a clear sign requesting that bikes be left before the boardwalk. I can see no advantage in cycling it, you would be better able to spot wildlife on foot.
Good to know that there is boardwalk at Glentress so this might cause spill over to any bit of boardwalk?
Maybe more bike parking could be provided to encourage.
Maybe little slippers could be left to encourage those that are cleated to take their shoes off.
Maybe they keep having to replace the wood as it is being pummelled by bikes (I don't believe this, the wood rots as it is on a bog).
Just because something is possible doesn't mean it is a good idea. In case I am sounding Po-faced I admit I will sometimes disregard the cyclists dismount sign on the aqueduct.
Pointless bit of fun that must stop now (again I am joking)
The original board cyclist appears to have reacted, not aggressively, but as if the walker was hassling the cyclist. I think he said something like c'mon man I get this hassle all the time or something like that.
Good for us all to see things from other people's perspectives and then see if the things we do should continue being the things we do.
Plenty of roads and tracks in pentlands, numerous little circuits popping up around Edinburgh for budding Danny macaskills etc.
