Joyful.</p> <p>All you young dudes Carrythe news. Cycling is great in Edinburgh. Keep smiling and for a bit of variety go to Glasgow and see what a council with an overall majority and only a west end of entitled motorist Cnuts can do.</p> <p>Sadly on a training course this Friday but available any other time to talk about spikes on your tyres and clouds in yer coffees. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22022#post-386280 Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:58:01 +0000 chdot 386280@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“17 years”</p> <p>Don’t know what to say</p> <p>Seems like a long time</p> <p>At the time it was seen as ‘a good idea’</p> <p>The Spokes web site had almost no posts on its forum section </p> <p>The Cycling Scotland forum had been pulled because of too many critical posts…</p> <p>CCE <em>is</em> ‘a thing’</p> <p>I’m always amazed/pleased there is still a hard core of fairly early adopters </p> <p>And people still come back after a long gap when they have something to ask/say</p> <p>The internet/world has changed, CCE less so, which is a weakness as well as a strength </p> <p>In Edinburgh more people cycle</p> <p>In Voi there is now a cycle hire ‘system’ that works. It helps that it’s all electric, but that’s not the only reason </p> <p>‘Politically’ things are better <strong>but not much</strong></p> <p>Without Covid, ‘infrastructure’ might be WORSE!!!</p> <p>I still maintain that CEC is worse because of the SA years, but it’s still more about lack of sane priorities at SG level</p> <p>In many ways it’s less about ‘cycling’ now</p> <p>It’s unfortunate that some others concerned with their cause see ‘cycling/ists’ as more of a problem than the GIANT elephant herd on the streets</p> <p>And the herd contains ever larger individuals </p> <p>Meanwhile ‘our’ individual concerns (and desires for ‘just a bit better’) are further sidelined by worldwide and polarised vested interests </p> <p>Keep riding bikes and encouraging others, it’s the only way to cope! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22022#post-386279 Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:56:13 +0000 neddie 386279@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm in </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22022#post-386278 Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:27:45 +0000 bakky 386278@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>(also, happy birthday to this forum, 17 years young today!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=22022#post-386277 Tue, 27 Oct 2026 11:24:44 +0000 bakky 386277@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Who's around this Friday? </p>
