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.

Police have asked for footage from dashboard cams and cyclist helmets to be handed into to help with investigations.

Not sure if many helmet cams in WL(?)
It's interesting that they've asked, but for my 2p: if the authorities aren't interested in this footage when someone tries to kill me with their car, why should I submit it for something relatively trivial like this?
They were good with some footage I handed in a few weeks ago. Just don't give them media you want back - no sign of my expensive USB key being returned.....
My thoughts are exactly the same ad Dave's. And they wonder why no one jumps to help them.
I wouldn't call it trivial - please read the story first.
That said, Dave's general point about average polis disinterest remains.
I was careful to say relatively trivial. I'm sure it wasn't trivial for this particular victim, but there are a very limited number of knife crimes compared with dangerous driving, out of all proportion with enforcement effort.
Whilst it's good they're making such an effort it does seem strange that such evidence is normally not worth a jot.
"does seem strange that such evidence is normally not worth a jot"
Suspect it's for 'leads' rather than something to take to court.
