IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.

Of course Hackney isn't Edinburgh (and vice versa) but it's probably the borough doing the most for cycling (like Edinburgh in Scotland)
Mare Street used to be full of buses -
Don't think CEC would 'dare' to do contra-flow cycling like this -
"Wherever we can we try to remove car ownership and encourage people to actually make that… actually, we take away their ability to own cars."
Wow, that's a brave move. I hope it works.

More residents cycle to work than any London borough
More residents cycle than drive 15.4% vs. 12.8%
14,054 walking commuters were recorded in the 2011 cencus, up from 7,811 in 2001
Hackney has the highest ratio of female to male cyclists (37% are women) of any London borough
...
But how has this remarkable change happened? There have been no Superhighways or Superwalkways, no grand project. In a nutshell, Hackney has taken a lead from Jan Gehl, the Danish Urbanist, whose simple message for a liveable city is to ‘create a better balance between cycling and walking and motor vehicles’.
