Fife, just across the Forth, is a great place for cycling for short trips or long ones. It has 19 stations so plenty of scope for starting from Edinburgh, getting off at one station and returning from one closer to the city.
There is of course the annual Edinburgh to St Andrews cycle ride. (This year it’s the first day of Bike Week). Many people book transport back, some people turn round and ride home, others stay the night and return the next day. This used to be a great option when the Burntisland to Granton Ferry existed. Will the Fife to Portobello hovercraft start soon?
