BBC HYS: Standards of cycle routes in Scotland (particularly NCR 75)

BBC Scotland has just published an article about the standards of cycle
routes in Scotland, particularly relating to a trip along NCR 75, which,
as many know, starts off well in Edinburgh, linking into the existing
local cycle network, has a pleasant Sustrans rail-trail in the middle,
and then is all but forgotten about once the Bucky-burbs of North
Lanarkshire are reached, before finally picking up again if somebody has
had the luck and bravery to successfully navigate the erratic route all
the way from there into the centre of Glasgow.

This article has a "Have Your Say" section, so if there's a particularly
bad section of cycle route in Scotland that you'd like to highlight -
plus the *solutions* needed to improve things, of course - then please
visit the BBC News site.

It may also be useful if cyclists from outwith Scotland who have had the
enjoyment of holidays in Scotland spoiled by the very variable nature of
our cycle routes could also raise that point.
