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 know there's a thread somewhere lamenting the closure of all the DIY stores in Edinburgh but I can't find it.
Screwfix have opened a new shop on Roseburn Street, between the bowling club and JB Maclean. Seems to have a decent range of stuff and can also be a collection place if ordered online.
Does seem a strange location to open a new shop as it's not far from the existing one in Sighthill. Also nearly a direct road between them.

Maybe they've heard about the popularity of Roseburn with white van men loading essential supplies from cafes.
Didn't know it was new - I used it last Friday night to pick up some M5 hex bolts - I'd lost those that attach my mudguards (that time of year). Inevitably, I found the old ones when I tipped out my big bag of allen keys...
Open to 8pm weekday evenings - it was slightly surreal being in a hardware store with loads of rugby fans coming past!
Any foray of DIY stores back into the centre of town is good news for the car-less
