The way points of this bicycle route:

Newington

Near the Commonwealth Pool

Suggested start point is Innocent Railway path tunnel near the Commonwealth pool. Turn left before entering the park then right towards houses. Tunnel is not obvious from the road but there are blue cycle path signs. It's downhill through the tunnel in this direction then along the cycle path to Duddingston.

Musselburgh

An opportunity for an ice cream at Luca's.

Prestonpans

Cockenzie

Optional circuit around Cockenzie Power Station

Longniddry

Short but steep uphill

Longniddry

This route shows carrying bikes over the railway bridge, but there is a route just along the B1377 followed by a right turn that avoids this. B1377 can be busy. This is start of old railway path to Haddington

Railway path

Haddington

Various pubs suitable for lunch stop

West Saltoun

Start of Pencaitland Railway Path. Not suitable for true road bikes but navigable by hybrids and mountain bikes without difficulty. This section is about 6.5 miles long.

Busy road crossing - take care

End of Pencaitland railway path

Dalkeith

The route out of Dalkeith requires crossing a busy road to get onto the shared pavement.

Sheriffhall Roundabout

Bikes are not allowed on the bypass - you need to cross the bypass. Take care. The route into Edinburgh is not particularly pleasant - there are cycle and bus lanes for part of it

Edinburgh

Past the new infirmary

Cameron Toll

Again, care around this busy roundabout. It is traffic light controlled with cycle path across it, so not too bad.
