UNION CANAL: Edinburgh to Glasgow by bike

The Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal opened in 1822 to connect the two major cities of Scotland and bring coal and minerals to the capital city. It connects with the Forth and Clyde Canal at the Falkirk Wheel. The two canals together total a distance of 56 miles (approximately 90 kilometers). After I found out about the canal last August, I was determined to bicycle the entire distance. I finally was able to do the trip now and I hope you enjoy the video. I also show you a café in Edinburgh and some street art from the Colinton Tunnel.

    I haven't biked in decades, but I thought that WAS the way round brakes should be? Is there a UK/US difference?

    On my Sweden bicycle and my Sweden moped, the rear-wheel brakes are on the right hand and the front-wheel brakes are on the left hand. But my USA bicycle has this reversed like this bicycle in the video. Thankfully I checked before I started to bicycle. I am not sure if there is a universal standard.

    I wanted to bike from Hamilton to Edinburgh but I need to go from Maryhill to Edinburgh which is too far for me so I don't bother.

    It was quite the trip for me also. I had to keep myself motivated to keep cycling for 2 days in a row (there and back).
