Looks like 26th
Plan for elsewhere(?)
Outdoors?
Canal?
If fine?
Of course the best thing about PY is the table -
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.

No idea if this is remotely suitable, but it's new and opens at 7:30
happy to try somewhere new - not overly enamored with PY of recent.
Went for a recce to HoneyComb earlier:
- lots of bike parking.
- nice part of the World.
- nice, shiny interior.
- tables to fit 10 ok.
Drinks menu below - similar pricing to NY.
Is it in the former nardinis in the former post office?
Ya
Suits me unless sunny then I vote the barge
Happy to give that a go - nearer for both flat and station for me, I think!
yup. can do. kids will want to come en route to school too though!
There'll be a table for them.
Checked just now, really does open at 7:30
I'll be off work so I shall try to come along with my small person. Elephant bike trials available.
alas I now find myuself in London that morning
I shall swing by not-PY. Mind you, what are we coming to when artisan coffee is almost cheaper than fruit juice?
Do they do decaf coffee? I've pretty much stopped drinking caffeine.
"Do they do decaf coffee? I've pretty much stopped drinking caffeine"
Ditto. I've not found anywhere, including France, that doesn't do decent decaff these days.
NOT, so -
(Zoom in, the blue squares are bike parking.)

"Normally from 7.30 to 8.30 (Morning) for most folk."
Some people hang on past nine.
(That's PY, but similar should apply.)
11 1/2 hrs 2 go.
NOT PY!
Are we going to Bruntsfield or the barge? It's to be a scorcher of a morning.
Bruntsfield, just to try - may be chairs/tables outside
Bring suntan cream.

Gutted. Lovely morning to enjoy the sun. Had a banging ride down to the station. Enjoy all.
Nice place. You'll find it by the Elephant Bikes outside. Sorry for short stop! Made my train which is good.
"Sorry for short stop! Made my train which is good."
Me too.
(Different one.)
Damn. Not been to one for ages, was cycling thru Bruntsfield at the right time too!
Must diarise next one.
P.s. what a stonking day.
Quite strange to think that this might be the single bike/model owned by more CCEers than any other!
Last time I saw that primrose Elephant Bike, it had no front basket. I'm impressed that its owner goes to the trouble of adding and removing the basket. I can't be bothered, and just put up with the extra weight.
Met Arellcat on Bruntsfield riding an Elephant Bike on way back from not PY. Had a wee shot. Quite nice - but lowest gear seemed bit high. 39" according to sources.
I would say the Circe Helios was a common bike for forumers.
+++ NOTE - have a used Helios for sale +++
"I would say the Circe Helios was a common bike for forumers."
True.
I'm impressed that its owner goes to the trouble of adding and removing the basket.
The owner was still doing shakedown runs at that time, and has quickly found that having the basket is much more useful than not having it. The owner now can't be bothered to remove it, and perversely enjoys puts up with the extra weight.
