Today's ironic parking (not really)

    Heading for George Street from West End, went towards Register House and a car was parked over the dropped kerb. Car had a Think Bike sticker on back window. How ironic I remarked to the geezer standing beside the car. Once manouvered around I discovered the cut through was blocked. So tried the cut through to the south side of the building. All scaffolding and bollards but made it through.

    Raced Deliveroo guy along George st, he actually stopped at some of the zebras. Cut down west side of St. Andrews on to princes street, over to the very far side of tram tracks to affect my crossing only to discover the road down to the station shut by the Scottish Gas Networks.

    Not a great commute but still better than driving

    "All scaffolding and bollards but made it through."

    It's surprising, given that it's the next nearest way through for an NCN, that there are no DISMOUNT SCUM signs. I popped through on a Just Hire bike today and got a "this is a pavement" off a pedestrian out of whose way I had moved.

    @wingpig is quite narrow, I moved out way of ped but she moved that way too. Was all slow motion so I could easily move back, she was cool, unlike your ped who was keen on stating the obvious

    To be fair. There is a no cycling signpost at the entrance to that path.

    @stiltskin I missed that sign maybe obscured by scaffolding?

    I think the Dismount sign has been removed whilst the 'usual' NCN1 vennel is closed. Would there be any official documentation for the suspension of cycling restrictions on that side?
