I am aware that the number of 'hits' on this site has increased 20-30% (compared with the same day of previous weeks).
Presumably this is because of people searching for PoP (or cycling in Edinburgh generally) or come across @CyclingEdin.
CCE has evolved over the last three years into a fun, knowledgeable, helpful/supportive place for people who (mostly) cycle in and around Edinburgh.
There are 'members' who have cycled 'for ever' and some who, only a couple of years ago, were too inexperienced/scared to cycle on the road and now cycle to work.
Sometimes CCE may seem cliquey (or even geeky) but this is mostly due to the fact many CCEers have met in 'real life' and know some of the bikes they ride or places they work or interests they have.
Consequently there can be in-jokes and oblique references to things like 'people losing their glasses in the canal'...
Don't be put off.
If you want to join in, just send an email to info@citycyclingedinburgh.info with your chosen user name.
You may care to contribute to "Are YOU new (or returning) to cycling?"
Or you may just prefer to continue lurking (that's not CCE offensiveness - 'we' avoid offensive [to each other at least] - it's just an Internet label!)
