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.

The first Five Rings Cafe is named after the late, great, Meadowbank Velodrome.
The venue hosted two Commonwealth Games, kickstarted the career of many cycling legends including founder Callum Skinner. Naming our Cafe “Meadowbank” in the city of Edinburgh was a no brainer
Not the cheapest coffee plus £2.99 postage but the cafe, what is it replacing?
Might be busy given They can open.
What was the shop the6 are in before? On George St

@gembo Google maps says there was Penhaligon's, at least since 2010 (Google maps street view history).
Wish Callum and co all he best and sure the interior will have some great cycle related themes for decor.
New coffee shop two is 'Argyle Place' next door to the Bicycle Works. Years in the making it has a roastery plus spacious interior. Only limited opening at moment but coffee very nice from Mr Eoin (also Stockbridge).
“Years in the making“
Indeed
Why?
You can see the validity of this, I hope it works and will try it out fo’ sure
“validity“
?
IF it’s 33 it’s on top of Wellington at 33a.
Argyle Place
“Years in the making“
Indeed. Why?
Major excavation into basement and sealing up. Very similar to the now closed Deli Polonia on Leith Walk. At least Meadowbank don't have that problem. Good that bit of velodrome will be used too. Daughter cycled round it once.
From Graeme Obree’s book
Top of Wellington is penhaligon perfume?
Saw the fancy new place on argyle place the other week with Mr Eoin next door
Went in today.
Mrs Garto elicited that it is a pop up. Probably on the remnant of lease owned by Pringle now gone. Before Pringle it was SSTA travel agents.
The shop is called Meander and sells city cycling and walking kit. They also have a shand leveret for sale.
Coffee is good. I also bought beans, which are dear and cleaned them out of crockery as gifts for the four other members of the band I am in.
"Throughout the coronavirus pandemic many have found themselves changing jobs and Scotland's Olympic stars are no different after Edinburgh cycling champion Callum Skinner revealed how he took a job as a Tesco delivery driver during lockdown."

Actually is in little Portugal (Roslin and Rosewell) in new centre called the Steading just up from the corner shop on Carnethie St in Rosewell. Called vin’s cafe. Super close to the penicuick Dalkeith bike path too
Fab.
Yes, the new Rosewell place is good.
Also Carrington village hall has a 'coffee morning' 1030 to 1230 for at least the next 2 Saturdays. Cyclists welcome.
Paid the Carrington Village hall a visit yesterday. Wasn’t the easiest to find but £3 for a coffee and a bacon roll isn’t to be sniffed at! Cash only and they are very generous with the bacon. Had a wee chat with one of the committee members too
@gembo: My memory may be awry (it's a while since I've been down that way) but isn't there another coffee shop in the Rosewell area, right next to the Penicuik-Dalkieth path? (Might not be as good as the one in the Steading, though.)
@stubbsie, we came in from Gladhouse direction on the roads but went out on the Dalkeith path. Heading East.
I think heading west from Rosewell where the path turns to chuckies there maybe is a cafe or a van and tables?
Carrington Village Hall (as endorsed by @mcairney) has another coffee morning and fayre on Saturday 22 October 10:30-14:30.
