CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years 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.
Up to 100 places are up for grabs on a celebratory glow in the dark bike ride through the heart of Edinburgh to celebrate the Capital becoming Scotland's first 20mph city.

It seems that this involves taking your own bike and fitting LED lights to it for a three mile ride. It isn't clear if the lights have to be returned afterwards or not.

Tickets all gone
@HankChief thanks, that was quick!
Promoting cyclists' responsibility to make themselves more visible and 20mph as a cycle-safety scheme. Hmmm. Mixed feelings.
I thought lights that aren't plain old red in back white in front were technically illegal on the road. Am I wrong?
Edit: I don't mean blinky lights, I mean any other colour than red or white. I feel like on a normal ride you're more likely to get pulled by plod for having multicoloured fairy lights/glowsticks/EL wire all over your bike than for no lights at all. In which case it's a strange promotion.
