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.
I was sweeping up some beligerent leaves this morning from the pavement out the front of my house. I found a very skinny tube 19-23 width from decathlon. (Has stayed inflated), a yellow dust cap, an EBC ass saver and two metal tyre levers. I don't think they were there yesterday morning when we set off on the fauldhouse, blackridge, avonbridge, torphicen, up-hall route.
Anyone want these things? My favourite s the yellow dust cap.
I'm trying to imagine a scenario in which those things would be left behind. Obviously, alien abduction just at the end of a puncture repair, but what else?
"but what else?"

C'mon Sally and ChDot
Whoever it was changed puncture but did not fasten their saddle bag correctly nor pay enough attention and when they bumped the kerb the ass saver and the tube and the spoons fell out to join the yellow dust cap they had left behind?
After night in grey horse if I cycle home and get a puncture outside my house i predict I will put the bike in the garage until the next morning rather than fix the puncture as if I did I would leave my ass saver, if I ever gave up on proper mudguards, metal levers which I would never use, not those ones anyway, tube, too skinny for my wheels and obviously my favourite dust cap outside my house.
Breaking news though, my son says they have been there since friday
I'm thinking more Nordic noir. A bicycle has been murdered and dismembered, the parts strewn in front of prominent bicyclists' houses.
Can haiku-obsessed forensic bicycle technician Gembø Bålernøson find the killer before his espresso freezes over?
@iwrats., bramble jelly may well had the solution?
Severed headset.

With the help of the dour, tenement-raised, ex-pat Harrison Parker?
Yes, Harrison, or as I call him Harry is in charge of the bramble jelly and we will very carefully apply it to our toast in a one take shot that zooms in on the jelly then out to our faces. Quite moody.. The jelly is a bit runny but it will stimulate our thinking on exactly who it is that has lost these items and why.
