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.
Conservative councillors look at evidence and find free parking isn’t a cure for all ills:
“John Wheeler, convener of Aberdeen City Council’s operational delivery committee, said the figures “speak for themselves”.
The Conservative councillor added: “We obviously trialled it and officers have come back with recommendations based on the data obtained that it has not really been successful.”
“
The brakes may be put on the much-lauded Alive After Five scheme
“
Whatever happened to the Edinburgh equivalent?
The AWPR bypass in Aberdeen has, for now, reduced traffic in Aberdeen itself. So, naturally, the city council is looking to capitalise on that by reallocating road space to more sustainable modes of transport. Right?
Haha, of course not. Instead they're building a dual carriageway through the middle of the city.

Route is roughly this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&route=57.1515%2C-2.1091%3B57.1658%2C-2.1159#map=13/57.1622/-2.1029
Aberdeen is insane. They won't stop until they've built Birmingham circa 1975.
This route studiously avoids the nice houses. Horror.
Leading Aberdeen retail bosses have called for the urgent pedestrianisation of the city’s famous Granite Mile
Nobody calls it the Granite Mile. The whole city centre's granite.
I think the beach used to be called the Golden Mile before people had sight of Spain.
In any case the proposed pedestrian bit is, er, 320 metres. Somewhat less than a mile. What, a blatantly misleading headline in the P&J? Gasp.
However, the proposal is probably a good starting point. If they get that done in Aberdeen, they're really onto something...
Aberdeen has been engaged in slo-mo suicide since the seventies. If they'd kept the Victorian market and renovated the Green and everything they'd have a rival to the Grassmarket. Hoodlums.
This route studiously avoids the nice houses. Horror.
Aberdeen clearly has been planning for this for ten or twenty years, really ever since the demolishing of the Belmont, Kittybrewster and Central cattle auction markets. The grassy strips around, for example, Kittybrewster Square are almost magically aligned with the existing roads.
Aberdeen leading the way as usual. https://twitter.com/aberdeenCF/status/1336931606876069894?s=20
Aberdeen council is a death cult.
