You should make sure you actually summit leith hill at least once - the track up from the main climb is pretty good, and doable on any bike provided it's not a mud bath. The view is 1st rate, and much better than anything afforded by the roads. Tea and buns are available from a little hatch in the tower too, and if feeling really strong, you can pay a small fee to climb to very top of the tower, complete with a small fancy dress box half way up.
Do not try and descend the steep tracks back to the road - they are either steps most of the way or deffo not ok on road bikes.
