#EdTravCyc Current position of Restalrig Road works means that there's a temporary-light-controlled single lane across the end of the slope up from the Restalrig Railway Path but which does not account for it, so watch out if emerging from the path and heading north/downhill.

It's here so that #EdTravCyc can see it, particularly in case anyone uses what's usually a quiet cut-through through the crematorium and doesn't expect to meet one of those giant tarmac-munching machines across the end of Boothacre Lane.

Watch out for loads of big heavy tipper trucks parked along Seafield Place, Pirniefield Place, outside the crematorium west entrance and along Claremont Park/Leith Links #EdTravCyc Also some footway parking on Seafield Place and Pirniefield Place

Delighted to see Water of Leith path between Saughton Park and Murrayfield open again following Scottish Water works. Saves an annoying detour over the bridge! #EdTravCyc

Medium-term (100 days) roadworks are due to start soon (9th-17th March) on Restalrig Road, with Phase 4 from Prospect Bank Gardens to Alemoor Park potentially affecting the steps and slope connecting the Restalrig Railway Path.

Photo of the zigzag slope connecting the Restalrig Railway Path cycle/walking path to Hawkhill Avenue, Edinburgh.
GLASS WARNING on the Hawkhill Ave slope to the Restalrig Railway Path. Most of it removed but a few bits embedded in ruts in the tarmac. #EdTravCyc

Kids have been smashing glass on the path to halt cyclists, then throwing bottles down on them when they dismount - https://www.reddit.com/r/Edinburgh/s/aY4Od652e2

Lots of glass on Chancelot path, south of Ferry Road, near Dalmeny Road. Seems like some glass recycling bins have been rolled down slope #edtravcyc @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social

Still possible to get past the roadworks on Forrest Rd at National Cycle Route 1 & 75. Scottish Water and the council have advised that cyclists are to follow the diversion or dismount. #EdTravCyc

Voi bike handles in front of the Kings Buildings sign at the University of Edinburgh campus, with my black gloved hand
Today I did a Voi bike day in Edinburgh #edtravcyc
My thoughts:
Very convenient when it turns out at 11 pm we don’t have a spare tube and I need to go NW to S to E on a Sunday
The smaller frame is easier to brake! But makes me v nauseous!
The intense speed limiter…

FYI - Water of Leith path is closed (with no signed diversion in advance) at Woodhall for resurfacing the defective newish surface. Assume for this week as wasn’t there on Monday morning?
@edi.bike @spokes.org.uk @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social #EdTravCyc @sw20.info any idea when it’s to reopen?

Also #EdTravCyc there was a big icy puddle at the bottom of the slope from the Restalrig Path down to Leith Links, though this has perhaps thawed by now.

#EdTravCyc ICE WARNING on the Goldenacre Path, beneath the puddle at the bottom of the slope from the playing fields. St Mark's Path bridge also a bit frostyslippy.

Just reported #ScottishPower contractor for not allowing space for cycles to pass on Whitehouse Loan at the junction with Newbattle Terrace. No diversion signage on Quiet Route & pavement being used by cycles when space could allow for passing on road! 🙄

Burnt out car and molten oil/plastic slurry across Silverknowles Road North down to the beach. Road is closed to motor traffic, so clean-up may be slow. #EdTravCyc

My kiddo took this photo as we biked by so it’s got motion blur. A photo of an Edinburg road with yellow paint and a crater sized pothole next to some steel road plates. There’s massive rocks in the hole, further cracking around it where large coach buses drive over it regularly to get to the bus depot. In the distance are tram tracks
Just to jump on the pothole discourse, this mighty one nearly swallowed my cargo bike tyre at Elder St/York - it’s right in the middle of the bike path. It’s gotten a lot bigger this week. Insert joke about AI fixing it, etc etc. But, can we just fix it, Edinburgh Council? 🥺

Ice on Braid Avenue
Feather frost on cat bonnet on Braid Avenue
#EdTravCyc @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social Braid Avenue and Braid Estate side roads an ice rink again this morning with gritting seemingly. Walking like a penguin so pray for anyone cycling without studded tyres!
