CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years old!
Well done to ALL posters

"it's too good to miss"
True.
Simple. Perfect.
Fantastic film! The really depressing thing is Keith Brown did spend a few days in The Netherlands as suggested by Chris Boardman. He also had the luxury of being shown around by top Dutch cycling experts.
His very next cycle related action - the launch of the Niceway Code!
Yeah, I was thinking that same thing Morningsider. There have been study tours, but they just never seem to learn from them! Maybe that's just me being 'harsh'.... ;)
"Maybe that's just me being 'harsh'"
Hardly!
Too many politicians think/say - 'but that's the Continent, this is the UK/Britain'.
Which makes it doubly disappointing that the SNP follow the same line.
Politicians are behind the times still thinking drivers = voters BUT key thing is they don't hear 'The Netherlands wasn't always like this'.
On the same topic:
