excellent montage!

Edinburgh is one of the world's premier bicycling cities, with the great network of routes. I think I must have ridden the most part of your commute when staying with my buddy on London Road. On the few occasions I've been bored in town, my mind wanders to the Firth and inevitably, to the Bridge (the road bridge hardly counts, in this context....).

Since my friend used to be the ranger for Arthur's seat/Holyrood, I used to like to borrow his carbon fibre mountain bike and ride out looking for him (he weighs a good deal less than me; I'm always afraid of damaging that bike....)- imagine, a city with mountain biking at it's heart!

Last year I spent 10 hours on a plane home, persuading a couple from Sacramento to add Edinbugh to their European Itinerary. It's worth the effort.
