York Place New Cycle Infrastructure

200 blips. A shot of the Edinburgh New Town (built 18th century, I think?) adapting and modernising for the 21st century. I was thrilled the other week when I realised York Place was getting a dedicated cycle lane. Really made me feel welcome, like I was supposed to be there. Made me feel safer too, a good thing as getting round the roundabout at the far end of the picture, at the top of Leith Walk on a bike was, to say the least, hairy. Today I discovered a cycle space has been carved into that roundabout. No longer a need to battle the traffic. Very nice. I hadn't stopped when cycling so no shot. If memory serves, however, the reason I stopped to take the above was cause the cycle path runs out after a block. If it wasn't that spot, it was soon after. There were cones out so I am hopeful there are works still to be done and the embedded cycle path within pavement and road will continue. We can but hope.
