CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

Is this a bit like us keeping an eye on the weather. Doesn't matter how many of us watch it if we're powerless to actually "do something".

Edinburgh set to crack down on shoddy road repairs
EDINBURGH is believed to be the first local authority area in Scotland to announce an inspection of every road-work site as part of a crackdown on utility firms which carry out shoddy repairs.
Transport chiefs aim to examine each of the 7,500 projects carried out by water, gas, power and telecom firms to prevent faults going undetected.
Firms will be made to do the work again if they are judged to be inadequate.
