Cycling in Edinburgh made slightly less dangerous?
Edinburgh's Bike Station has just launched a Tube-style map of all the cycle routes in the city that it promises are "uninterrupted, car-free". Here's the design rationale:
It's a work in progress but it looks pretty cool and might give me a safer alternative to life-in-your-own-hands Lothian Road. You can download it as a pdf file here.
Edinburgh is pretty unique in the UK in having a network of off-street, totally traffic-free cycle and footpaths spanning the city. Given that many of these routes were once railway lines, we have taken inspiration from the London Underground to chart Edinburgh's cycleways in a clear, easy-to use map.
