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.
There is already a Flickr group -
http://www.flickr.com/groups/popscotland
I was asked by PoP if I could make some photos available (tomorrow) for press use, so I have set up a new group -
https://www.flickr.com/groups/pop2014press
"
THIS one is for photos that can be used freely by newspapers, magazines, blogs etc for free - as long as they credit the photographer.
You may add photos for a short time and then remove them.

Feel free to join.
How about the best PoP2014 photo replaces the current banner photo on CCE?
Some on-line
SRD saw the camera.
Lead story on Reporting Scotland.
Missed the telly spot, but here's the Beeb web story (No.2 currently on Scotland news site):

Three pix on BBC story are mine!
(Free to use - but meant to name check!)
Short piece on Reporting Scotland, now online:

I have a photograph of Laura Maxwell doing her piece to camera.
Good piece on Reporting Scotland. Came across well.
It's was good to have both Keith saying he want 10% of all journeys by bike and POP asking for 5% of the transport budget...
This is the key statistic to me (that and the 1%ish we're getting now...)
Let's hope that those watching have the same takeaway.
I've stuck up some pictures on my flickr and added to the various groups. https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisfleming/
Nothing spectacular photo wise as I was mostly chasing around a toddler, but we both had a great time and it was great to run into and catch up with lots of friends.
Big Ged Holmyard from EBC just sneaking into the extreme right of the photo with the guy in Panasonic jersey.
The Spurtle tells it like it is - that guy on the tandem is a maniac. ;-)
POP 2014 - on LB Flickr set
Nice to see Nick from Paper Bicycle brought Luna his dog along. He cycled around from shop drinking coffee with her sat in basket! Just the kind of 'reckless' cycling that annoys some - although would be normal in other places.
'Best' bit of ride (apart from seeing forumer Bruce) - was a smartly dressed gent who walked towards the riders to ensure not one cyclist crossed the line going up MMW. Of course the fact he was on the line meant we had to concede a little bit more. Some people are annoyed at seeing so many cyclists 'en masse' (but not cars maybe?)
Ruggtomcat just posted the BBC news clip on FB
Those Chipwrapper photos feature Graeme Obree leading the ride out - Last years?
(Maybe he slept in it.)
Posted this in Thoughts - apologies. Some photos mainly of the start and finish: https://www.flickr.com/photos/revstar/
Nice one, tarmac. I think you were the only one to manage to photograph me!
Challenge accepted!
Quite a few more people have joined and added pix -

@ tarmac jockey
You also seem to be the only one who's captured me! Back of my head (twice) and a riding shot.
Has anyone posted video of the speeches? In particular, I'd like to hear what the kids said, as I wasn't able to hear them.
This has a good recording with quality sound and editing!
Speeches - http://youtu.be/2B_nwPJiyMQ
Be warned, it's 10 minutes long.... ;-)
I've finally found a photo of me!

Don't I look posh... :-( I'll wear something a bit less smart next year, I think..
"Don't I look posh"
I think the word is "respectable"

No need to dress down for 'us'!
I found me and my (blurred) son.
