Getting to the Bristol and bath cycleway
Can anyone tell me if there is a safeish cycle route from Bath Spa station to the Bristol and Bath cycle way ?

It's about 400 meters to the River Avon cycleway, which continues to become the Bristol & Bath rail-trail/ cycleway. Basically, come out of the station on to Dorchester St and keep left to go onto Broad Quay and then the Avon path.

If you're in the bath area, I don't suppose you know the best route from Frome to Bath?

OMG finally a question I can answer on here.
Yes - you come out of the station, turn left, go past the bus station, straight across the junction and then drop down onto the riverside path that's running along your left.
Follow that along the river for a mile or so. When you get to a pub called the Locksbrook Inn on the right hand side you'll go up a small rise up to a bridge. Don't cross the bridge - down the other side and then you'll meet a road coming in from the right. Join the road, follow it along for a couple of hundred metres. The cycle path itself comes of the left hand side - it's pretty obvious, it shares the entrance with an industrial estate and is signposted. There's a gate across it which is locked shut, and a cycle entrance to the left of it.
And that's it. That'll drop you all the way into Bristol city centre. You can do the whole journey with about 400 m of on road cycling.
It's a lovely ride. Enjoy :)
