CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.
The thing is that used to be a perfectly reasonable road to cycle on. There were two lanes both way, cars parked on either side, but the lane was wide enough to create a pseudo-cycle lane with the moving car traffic in the other lanes.
Then they put a hatched marking in the middle, created specific, narrower, parking areas on the sides, and forced cyclists to ride in the main carriageway along with the car traffic.
Bonkers backward step.
I particularly dislike this bit. Mainly because I get honked at for taking the lane.
Slightly off topic, what's this bus stop bypass for?
That shows up the old markings as well.
I always presumed that for some services that was a turning point before entering the dragon-filled realm of East Lothian, and so the cut-in was used to turn round back for the safety of Edinburgh.
Did the world not end when the floating bus stop was built?
