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.

The articles in the Sunday Times and the Daily Mail are similar to many other motor-centric pieces that have been published down the years, written by the kind of folks sitting in their cars looking to blame anyone but themselves for the amount of cars in front of them, or, as car satnav maker TomTom put it in a 2010 outdoor poster: “You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic.”

Congestion is inefficient, polluting and dangerous. So why not reduce it? Removing just 5% of traffic at peak times could substantially reduce or even eliminate rush hour congestion from many cities. One approach that is beginning to stoke interest among municipal leaders, even in large metropolitan capitals like Paris and London, is road pricing. The theory seems sound enough: introduce a price on bringing cars into congested areas that incite drivers either not to travel unnecessarily or to vary their times of travel or, indeed, to try public transport, walking or cycling. With the right approach, drivers who incur higher prices during rush hour periods would benefit from reduced congestion and travel time, while non-essential travel would take place at less congested and cheaper times.
