Ride in protest over fuel costs
MOTORISTS are being told to expect traffic disruptions in the Capital today as motorcyclists protest at the rising cost of fuel.
Organisers say up to 300 bikers could take part in the demonstration, which follows a similar protest by lorry drivers last month.
A police spokesman said: "Police have worked with the organisers to facilitate this procession and will make every effort to minimise disruption.
"There will be no diversions, and as the convoy will be moving slower than traffic, motorists can expect delays and should consider alternative routes."
It will leave Kinross at midday, cross the Forth Road Bridge and head to Hermiston Gait and along Calder Road, through Gorgie and Balgreen and into the city centre along the Western Approach Road.
After stopping in the Grassmarket for an hour, the bikers will leave the city at around 3pm.
