This trail past Blackness forms part of the John Muir Way (Helensburgh to Dunbar; johnmuirway.org/route) and the National Cycle Route 76 (Berwick Upon Tweed to Kirkaldy - sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-76/). The surface is light gravel so will be fine for most bike types except perhaps racing road bikes in the winter where it might get a bit slippery when wet and muddy.
