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.

I thought that, but didn't comment.
"Presume St. Andrew House."
Yes, sorry should have made that clearer.
"Maybe push bikes from S Charlotte St?"
Maybe. I'm happy to go with any flow there may be.
"Protest being publicised in EEN"
I have asked them to shut off comments in that link as the cycle hating idiots simply cant help themselves - even though this poor girl perished in the accident.
I despair at some of my fellow human beings at times like this.
How the EEN cant work this out themselves is beyond me.
Crowd funder to help with her funeral expenses.
Includes a lovely eulogy
From a FB comment on an EEN article.
"I'm a close friend of Min. The book of condolence is currently at the medical school (Chancellor's building, Little France), just beside the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.
I thank you on behalf of her family and the rest of us. We are really touched by the love and kindness that the public has offered for the past days.
Thanks very much and please take care."
That is 800 spokes member email addresses notified about Wednesday morning.
Good
Protest also being publicised on Forth One this morning.
Forecast is fine and cool -

@SRD PM sent.
I can't attend this event, but I will be with you all in spirit tomorrow morning. If one of you would take it upon yourselves to express rage, grief and exasperation on my part I would be very grateful.

Hundreds are expected to gather tomorrow to mark the death of 23-year-old student Zhi Min Soh, who died while cycling in the city centre.
An airhorn will mark the start of minute’s silence, one week on from the tragic accident, and will also stand as a peaceful protest calling for the city to take action to ensure that a similar tragedy does not happen again.

I have put a note on all the bikes in our garage - sadly I was off sick yesterday and with the rain today not got as many bikes in as usual. Put a note up in the changing rooms too and can see a post on our intranet too.

Well done, hope some other people are doing similar.
Presume it's being widely spread at UofE(?)
(Not just for cyclists.)

Not seen anything here...
Will try and get something on the BUG-mailing-list at least.
Well if I was ultra keen I could go to the other buildings we have in town and do the bikes there...
ooooohhhh gods... WHY did I open the EEN link... WHY did I scroll to the bottom.
>.<
An email has now gone to all the UoE bug lists - sorry for the delay, the relevant admin person was away until today.
My poster version - taken from ©SRD. Getting a couple run off at A1.

Been asked to embed it too.

This is no.1 trending on ENews
(Hope that's good.)
I won't be reading the comments - not switched off.
For those that meet in Charlotte Square, before the protest, there will be flags and handlebar posters available to decorate your bikes.
If anyone wants to meet at the canal basin at 8.10 let me know. I can bring laminated posters for handlebars.
(if you have a bamboo pole left from Pop, bring that too!)
Thanks to SRD for the artwork that I have used for the posters and flags.
Nice
Forecast still looking ok

Desperately sad commemoration but it was beautifully done.
Perfectly done
Big attendance
Lots of cameras
Hope it changes the right people's minds
