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.

Bike lanes are only ever part of the answer, anyway. Changing driver attitudes is just as important. I can’t believe the fury of some NYC motorists if a cyclist has the temerity to get ahead of them in traffic. This kind of NYT coverage just feeds the mindset that thinks bikes and bikers are a nuisance that should basically be off the roads altogether.

I've cycled in both Edinburgh and NYC, and I'll take Auld Reekie any day of the week. In Edinburgh, I found courteous motorists and general civility on the road.
NYC roads are War, with a level of nastiness I never came close to encountering in Edinburgh. I kid you not -- you think a 'merkin is obnoxious, you should see one in its native environment.
FYI a merkin over here is a pubic wig. maybe 'merakin is better. :)
