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.
Today I rode past 3 different roads* with 'no through road' signs on them, where cyclists and pedestrians can still get through. I don't understand why these don't have 'except bikes and pedestrians' on them. is there no such provision in the various regs?
Craigleith Hill Ave; Craigleith Hill Green; Summer Bank
alternatively "no through road for motor vehicles" sign would mean we don't need to stick up extra signs correcting the initial incorrect signs.
When we're out for walks, I often "lead" us down dead ends in the expectation that there might just be a way through. Usually there isn't, but I liked to explore the potential.
Where's the way through on Craigleith Hill Green?
oops. I meant crescent! duh.
This is one of my pet hates!
I was heading out for a wee meander through midlothian this morning. Google maps told me i could get out to Straiton via Gilmerton Dykes Road.
When i got there, a No Through Road sign temporarily got me a bit irked. Decided to "risk it" only to find the road was quiet, reasonably surfaced, white cycles were painted on the road - FULL LANE! and indeed I could nip through onto Lasswade Road. So surprised I was at finding this easy route, I looked about me, only to look ahead again *just* in time to avoid cycling into a bollard! Was a bit sheepish even though no-one would have seen it!
Maybe cyclists are just supposed to know these roughts are through routes after all?!
"white cycles were painted on the road"
This is part of the mysterious Family Network Cycle Route 61 -

As compared to the rubbish family route 20?
Noticed yesterday evening that the turn into Belford Road is just signposted No Through Road, while the turn from Carlton Street to Dean Terrace in Stockbridge is signed No Through Road except cycles.
