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.
not resolvedI recall during the Cycle Festival a ladies cycle tuition morning/afternoon. Well a lady and ex neighbour on my cycling friend approached us in the Windsor just now, and during the catchup asked about learning to cycle as a lady adult. Can anyone give me details of someone (professional) in Edinburgh who could give this lady some tuition and get her on a bike. I don't know if she has ever ridden before.
Many thanks. Dave C
Bike Station in Glasgow do training, they might have an idea who would do it in Edinburgh.

Dave - I believe the Learn then Ride sessions are continuing, I'll ask Suzanne Forup about the details
Thanks peeps! Once I have the info I can pass it on.

Female instructors available if she prefers
Suzanne says there will be one more event later in August & then a few more in spring - there was a bit of funding from Edinburgh Council. Awaiting more details...
From Suzanne:
next (final) Learn then Ride session is next weekend (Sunday 23 August) at 10 -12 am at the Youth Scotland office (19 Bonnington Grove, EH6 4BL). They will be going to the local park for a skills session and then on a ride. That will be followed at 12 by a puncture repair workshop back at the office and then at 2pm there will be a 'beginner' Edinburgh Belles ride.
Not sure if it's a book in advance affair or not, I will find out contact details
