CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
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.
I think we've had similar threads - though perhaps more on specific issues (like Gogar Station Road - now being sorted!!)
I've mentioned this one before, but today it was 'coned off' -
There used to be bollards, then a few years ago this appeared (tram related traffic management).
The cones suggest it's not stopping all motor vehicles, but it certainly inconveniences people on bikes.
Fix please!
Whereabouts is this? Looks suspiciously like the quality street facility found on my old commute through Gayfrield Square. Huge waste of time wherever it is!
Isn't that bolted down with hex-head bolts? shouldn't be too difficult to remove a few feet of it at either end.
I mean for the council to do this. Not anyone here. Of course.
Why the yellow lines? If you can't drive over it, why not park alongside it?
"Looks suspiciously like the quality street facility found on my old commute through Gayfrield Square."
Yes, perhaps you'll remember how long it's been there!
You may be able to remove a few but remember the police station is just up the street and they park along there so would very likely see you. Vandalisation charges??
Well - if it's coned off, perhaps sopmething is about to be done to it?

Bonded and bolted, usually.
This was the view nearly a year ago:
Police cars used to be able to fit (just) through the old bollards, and it used to be a great cycling cut-through. These days, I presume the police just bump over the obstructing kerb?
Classic example of failing to consider not-cars when they replaced the bollards...would a 1 metre gap in the middle have been so hard to do?
