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.
By the exit of Gogar Station Road onto the A8 about 8am
Came across a police car waiting and a police van turning up and putting a white MTB with front suspension into the back and then both driving off. Apparently there was an ambulance there at 8.15am.
Hope rider is okay.
2 people in 2 days - not good. Best wishes to both and hope they both make full recoveries.
An update...
"
This was my brother, on his way to work in Ratho. I saw him last night he is doing ok.
It was a bad shoulder dislocation but thankfully his left shoulder (he is right-handed), they need to wait and see how it heals there may be damage to his rotator cuff which wouldn't be good.
His helmet has a dent in it apparently though he hasn't seen it, the police still have it and his bike. Note to non-helmet wearers and this was on a cycle path too.
He doesn't know how his front tyre slipped from under him as he was looking up at people as its a busy corner. He admits he was probably taking it a little fast..
No bones broken though, and he would like to say a huge thanks to everyone who stopped to help him, threw their jackets over him and waited with him til the ambulance came.

Stay safe out there folks
