THIS is Why You Have to DISMOUNT

The Council’s web site now has the ‘recommended routes’ for bikes to avoid the Shandwick Place closure. “You will need to dismount and walk your bike for the last section to Manor Place/Atholl Place.”

The metre or so next to the kerb is clearly required for contractors’ cars that obviously need to be securely caged so that they cannot be ticketed for parking without paying.

It will be different when we get the promised “model cycle friendly city“.

UPDATE 11.3.08 – there is now a NEW ‘recommended route’
