CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

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.
The M1 and the M6 were in a pub when another bit of tarmac came in and ordered a drink.
"Don't look at him" said the M1.
"Why?" said the M6 turning round to look
The M1 grabbed the M6 and said "I mean it - don't look at him"
"OK, OK. I won't. But I don't get it, why?"
"He's a cycle path"
I'll get my coat...
Same pub...two sweets this time. A third walks in when first sweet says to second "Be careful with him, he's menthol!"
Boom tish, I'm here all week.
@paddyirish I think you have been listening to I'm sorry I haven't a clue. The most recent episode had another anti bike joke at the top of the programme which a lot of the audience laughed at, but which I've since forgotten.
I liked another from the programme: a skeleton walked into a bar and said "I'd like a pint of lager and a mop".
@greenroofer
Heard it from my F-I-L, and that sounds a highly likely source. Didn't think it was particularly anti-bike though -just a groan-worthy gag...
That skeleton gag is anti-dead people!
;)
@paddyirish: the anti-bike one wasn't the one you quoted, it was something about the Highway Code.
Jack Dee had mentioned the Highway Code, and went on to explain, "The Highway Code is the book that describes the rules of the road - that's just in case there are any cyclists listening." How we laughed.
A woman walked into a boozer and asked the bar man for a double entendre, so he gave her one.
@ih, that's the one. How we laughed indeed.
I did laugh at the one about the woman who went into a bar and asked for a double entendre, but that's probably not suitable for here.
I'm unsurprised to find that I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue has numerous listeners on here. Is it something you have to have grown up with so that you understand why the audience think references to Samantha, Lionel Blair and Mrs Trellis cause such hilarity?
Oddly the BBC panel shows of this ilk were widely repeated on US National Public Radio (NPR) but not in Canada on CBC radio. So, while I grew up more familiar with British books and TV, Mr SRD's family was getting all the radio shows.
Pretty sure there was a Mornington Crescent thread here for a while....
If there were a Mornington Crescent thread you wouldn't be able to link us directly to it.
There was a thread that I asked if it could end with Mornington Crescent but after that card had been played it did not end. So then I tried Morningside Crescent and that worked. Can't for the life of me remember what the thread was about?
Two pieces of string walk into the same bar.
The barman shouts - "Get out - We don't serve pieces of string in here!!"
They go back out onto the street. The first piece of string says "I'm going back in and I'm going to get served"
The second says - "never - he'll never serve a piece of string"
The first says - "I'll disguise myself then"
He rubs himself up against a wall, ties himself up in tangles and then scrubs his side on a thorny bush until it's all broken and damaged.
He walks back into the bar...
The barman says suspiciously - "Hey you - Are you a piece of string?"
The piece of string says - "No, I'm a frayed-knot"
Two men walk into a bar... Boom Boom.
