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.

For bicycle diehards, the CycloCable may seem like a cop-out. But the system, which costs about as much as a bike lane to install, could encourage more cyclists on intimidating topography. A 2007 survey of Trondheim bike lift users found that 41 percent were biking more often because of the lift.

Well there was a serious suggestion for the previous version of the Trondheim 'lift' to be installed.
:-D
It would work up until some git parked their car next to it, or worse still stopped and waited in the car blocking the ride up but sitting in their veh while they block the lift.... Plus it would mean removing parking from one side. or worse moving it out meaning peds would block it with refuse... Nah can't see it.
You'd need to close the end of Albany Street, which would have the added benefit of stopping that street being used as a rat run.
Sorry, when I say "rat run" I really mean "arterial route" [designation dependent on whether you are a resident or the Council].
Ha ha ha .. a collegue has just suggested a catapult instead! :o)
