“Conflicts with the bike-bus“
Suspect some of the above (and others) could still be there afterwards.

@neddie - please come along after. I plan on sticking around a bit, although I may be fairly wired from too much coffee.

I'm going to have to start a campaign for a NotPY venue that is south of the A720.

“NotPY venue that is south of the A720“
Make a list.
Plan for spring?
And/or not a weekday?

I'll be happy to come to the south-of-A720 PY, as soon as safe* crossing of said A720 is provided.
I wonder if I'll see the day? Will my children?
Getting across the North Esk safely is also problematic.

Strictly speaking, there is only one truly safe crossing, and it requires being on route 61.

“It requires being on route 61“
Sort of.
Best way to get to Roslin (other destinations are available.)
If you’ve never crossed the Bilston Glen Viaduct it’s well worth being a ‘destination’! Photos on Flickr
There was a plan to reach your pin from Lang Loan on a new path. That still a thing??

Good question. If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be built by developers of the new housing to the north (who may or may not even own the land needed for the new path).
I will enquire.

This one is also safe enough for kids to cycle on: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/58963009
And this too: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/288386542
The...er...fun...with all three is in finding a safe route to them from the city centre.

The shared use path south from Bain Rigg to Gilmerton Station Road is pretty much contiguous, and quite popular. The crossing of GSR isn't signalised however, but is at least physically short.

Great
Thanks

If you’re adventurous and not in a hurry!

It's just north of the Dixie Line (aka A720) but there's a new cafe near Lowe's Farm opened recently I haven't tried yet:

Yep, Lasswade Rd and Gilmerton Rd are not suitable for kids for the most part. And going via the Innocent / Little France / Edmonstones / Loanhead path is a very long way round.
And it doesn't solve crossing the N. Esk...

I have meeting bang on 9 so would need to leave before I get there. Shame.
