In reply to Pete Pozman:
Even if you could ride it, you would probably be having to stop to give way to the masses of walkers on the trail at any one time. The way back would be okay but again, lots of people going in both directions and not much space for folks to get out of the way, many of whom are already pretty shaky on their feet.
It is however, a lovely cycle from town up the Glen and there’s now a bike rack in place for you to leave it there (lock recommend) for the walk up to the meadow and beyond.
