CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.

A section of Princes Street in Edinburgh will be closed for two weeks from June 15 for essential repair work to be carried out by Scottish Water.
The westbound carriageway between South St David Street to the Mound will be closed.
Trams will still be running in this area, but all other traffic, including taxis and buses, will be diverted along George Street and down Frederick Street.

Perfect time to do it - Princes St is deserted anyway.
(I came home through Holyrood Park yesterday and was reflecting on the irony that there was almost certainly more traffic there than on Princes St...)
@fimm, Holyrood Park the preferred driving through route from south of the city centre to Portobello beach, Musselburgh, and dog walking opportunities further into East Lothian?
No traffic lights at junctions, only one pesky pedestrian crossing to deal with. Nice scenery out the window. A driver's dream!
Richmond Park in London also rat run but everyone can be fined for going over 15 mph
My pal was done for this on his bike.
@fimm
Holyrood Park as had over 50 comments asking them to close. Of course Council only control roads to park not in it. It is one of the 'business as normal' areas that needs changed rapidomento.

Lesley Macinnes is meeting HS again to give them the good news that Queen's Drive has been voted to be a top bike friendly 'street'.
Couldn't CEC close the roads that lead to Holyrood Park?
Lesley Mc could threaten to. The entry at Commie Pool must belong to the people? Then negotiate?
Might need section open to get tot he Palace car park and close everywhere else?
"Lesley Mc could threaten to."
Aye, and rainbow unicorns piloted by leprechauns and fairies will be contracted to carry out the required works.
