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.
We're still finalising the details, but Spokes Porty and Spokes are hosting a talk/Q&A with Paul Gannon of the Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign about their experiences with the Mini Holland active travel programme and active travel campaigning in general. There will also be a presentation on funding options from Sustrans, and a Spokes stall.
More details and and possibly a link for (free) ticketing as soon as we've confirmed everything.
Paul Gasson (spelling)?
Ah, <rule2>, yes.
That should indeed be Paul Gasson.
Thanks, @NiallA, and sincere apologies to Paul for getting his name wrong.
Can any admin sort this for me (subject and post)?
Yes
Done
More constructively on my part, I have heard Paul speak once before and he is extremely interesting on the Waltham Forest developments. Well worth attending, I’d say.
We now have an Eventbrite page for the talk.
Hoping to see a good number of Edinburgh's all-powerful bicycle lobby there.
We'd be really grateful if you could share this with any people or groups you think may be interested.
What do great places look and feel like? Is it possible to redesign our streets and get about in different ways? What makes a vibrant local economy? How can we encourage more walking and cycling? Can we have cleaner air and reduce climate change emissions? How does transformation happen?
This event will give attendees a chance to learn from two speakers who are involved in improving local places. Come along and hear about the Waltham Forest Mini-Holland experience, and from the Sustrans Scotland Places for Everyone initiative.
There’ll be time for questions at the end as well as a chance to browse the Spokes stall and buy the latest Spokes cycling maps.

- Paul Gasson - Waltham Forest Cycling Campaign
- Tierney Lovell - Sustrans Scotland
- Dr. Caroline Brown (Q&A chair)
