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.
A few years ago I crashed en route to Viewforth from Lochrin Place, thanks to the near invisible grey chain between 2 posts, injuring my right thumb, and witnessed by a fellow cyclist.
Now this has highlighted the potential for liability in poor placement and hazard marking of bollards and access restrictions. Note the post crash use of traffic cones.

I am always amazed in this age of Hi-Vis hysteria when bollards are installed in black. Chain or string hanging between is even more ridiculous.
A further Edinburgh location is going west along Ocean Drive and heading for Commercial St.
http://goo.gl/maps/lpsqf has an inviting dropped kerb, cross this and drop down off the raised section to railway level and aim along the bridge between the tracks...and then .....the chain: http://goo.gl/maps/o93fF which is newly sporting warning signs in the picture, but did not originally have them.
If not on a public road (like the road on a level crossing) the legislation of the Health & Safety at Work Act can make this a section 3 detail if a non employee on the site is injured by a failure to provide an appropriate duty of care concerning hazards.
