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.
resolvedI'm attending a talk at the Belford Road gallery on Monday evening, and it seems there is bike parking at Modern Two (the one with Paolozzi statue in it, etc.) but I'm not sure about Modern One across the road (the one with the big Charles Jencks landscaping outside).
Anyone happen to know if there are any bike racks, say in the car park at the rear of the building?
Mod1 just to right of main entrance (front).
Exactly where it should be for Mod2.
Must be on CycleStreets.
Sheffield racks

Also blue square to left of building.
Haven't looked/noticed for ages, used to be old fashioned sort. May have been updated.
Same thing as on Cyclestreets, but straight from the Openstreetmap data with a pretty label.

Click points for capacity (where recorded).
"Click points for capacity (where recorded)."
Shame this isn't standard on OSM too.

It probably wouldn't be much fun if a popup appeared every time you clicked on the map.
In case anyone doesn't already know, you can click the wee question mark on the right, then click near the thing you want more information about. Click it again in the list on the left, and more info (including capacity of bike parking, for example) appears. Bit more faff than ideal, but it works.
Racks at front

"It probably wouldn't be much fun if a popup appeared every time you clicked on the map."
Wouldn't need to be a popup. I thought CS used to have the number (or was it some OSM layers?)
Ah, yeah, with you now.
The cycling layer shows the number, but only if there are more than 20.

Ah

Nothing to stop one setting up the Overpass Turbo site to show capacity instead of course... it's all in the query at the left of the page: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qhT
Thanks folks!
Well the bike parking facilities were very good, conveniently located, plentiful. Would be better with covered stands of course but you can't have everything.
If only the lower part of Belford Road wasn't such a tricky road to cycle on: too much traffic , narrow, blind bends, guardrails everywhere. On the other hand the wee bike cut throughs to the upper part were a boon. Also as it's blocked to general traffic at Dean bridge end it's very pleasant. I'd forgotten about those cut throughs: they really help and I recall what it was like before they closed that part, not so nice.. Quite a few similar features in west end, e.g., western part of Queen Street. WE could do with more blocking of side streets with cycle cut throughs, such a simple intervention.
We should add 'covered=no' information to Openstreetmap for whichever parking you know isn't covered. Tells the next person more than we knew from the map for you. Let me know which you used, edit the map data yourself, or put a note on the map in this place to say what needs to be recorded:
