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.
Nessieland is for sale. I'm a bit upset as I've never even been. What if the new owners change it before I have this experience??? @sheeptoucher has visited. I believe he found it... memorable. Maybe I need to factor in more bike trips to this sort of place?
From the listing: "Nessieland is not a museum"
I quite fancy designing a theme park based on the reality of Loch Ness. 200m deep black acidic water at 4° with nothing living in it.
Ooh. Would there be a café?
(serving things that aren't glasses of black acidic water at 4°?)
the reality of Loch Ness
to the oddball geezer running the shop near boleskine -
i understand you'll be pestered unduly by the occasional wild-eyed crowleyite
but parking my bike outside yr shop does not in itself constitute an unpardonable satanic ritual
@bax San was that a local shop?
I see ye league of gents no platformed for Barbara from Babs Cabs and her dislike of the acronym LGBT and her preference for the acronym ACRONYM.
Apart from papa lazarou obviously, Barabara was my favourite character. Papa Lazarou would have done well on here the high number of daves we have or had.
what loch ness needs is a wide multipurpose pathway around its entire edge! riding around it is nightmare apart from very early summer mornings (even then you get the tour bus drivers getting to the hotel pickups).
there was a city in OZ that also had the same problem with a river through it - brisbane or melbourne - cannot remember which, and they simply built a walkway around the bank of it on stilts, - rejuvinated the entire river side.

Loch Ness was so intractable that prior to Wade's coming you couldn't even get a horse from one end to the other. He had such trouble with his road he kept a rowing galley on the loch for twenty years. As a bicyclist I'd either take his road on the south side which is most beautiful and hilly or hack up the Great Glen Way on an MTB.
Would there be a café?
Yes. The main client base is Goths so it would serve gloomy grub and distraught drinks like black acid snakebite. Have I got this right? Do Goths go on holiday? Do they eat?
@bax
When in Crowley territory do as Crowley? Should have just pulled a revolver on him like the Master did when his climbing companions faltered on the Eiger.
@IWRATS - no argument from me here about your route, the south side is amazing, but it would be nice to loop around it on the road rather than GGW on the north (which can be not too pleasant after rain IIRC)
theres a great cafe outskirts of Foyres - Camerons Tea Room
yummy scones!
Ah yes it was in Cameron's Tea Rooms where my mum once famously asked 'Do you sell cups of tea?'. Waitress with perfect comic timing replied 'Yes madam. This is a tea room.' after a pause to glance at the tea-making equipment, large sign saying 'Tea Room'.
it was brisbane.
and in fact they rebuilt it too after washing away - i also think there are new sections being added all along its route
look at the sun!
ahaaa - edit - better URL
think i'm moving to Brisbane if they have the attitude of doing this
