Joined: 20 Sep 2007 Posts: 1 Bike: | Hi I am thinking on cycling from dunfermline to Edinburgh. I see the NCN 1 route seems to use cycle paths in Edinburgh. My question is - from the Forth Road Bridge is the route well signposted so you know which normal roads to use and when to come off onto cycle paths? thanks Chris Shepherd |

Be warned that for a flagship route, it's not in very good nick - spokes.org.uk started a letter writing campaign about it few weeks ago, which you might consider joining if you start doing it regularly. I've noticed that other cyclists seem to know a number of shortcuts off the signed route, although I haven't sussed them all out yet. Cheers, Matthew |

Joined: 10 Aug 2008 Posts: 1 Bike: | Hello, I'm also thinking of cycling from Dunfermline to Edinburgh and in doing research found this post! The route on here says it takes 1h54m - is this average? I can't imagine doing it if it takes me that long! I work in the west end and live in the southeast of Dunfermline... Any thoughts would be gratefully received. Cheers, Sandra |
