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.
For (!) professional reasons, have been spending a surprising amount of time on various stamp boards.
Intriguing to see which countries have issued cycling-themed stamps: https://colnect.com/en/stamps/countries/theme/332-Cycling
Not sure if this list is comprehensive but Netherlands and Uk seem to be at the top
Other more reliable catalogues don't include cycling as a theme... am sure i'l find more to check...
I think I recognised Bernard Hinault more from his riding position that his face!

I just came across this bicycle stamp specialist website by accident (following the stamperija story - link below)
"This website is made for bicycle stamps collectors. You do not know what these are? Well - Bicycle stamps collectors are mostly both: philatelists and cyclists. On rainy days, in winter and generally with increasing age the focus shifts more towards philately. They belong to an endangered species with a large surplus of males. Their number is estimated to be 30 to 50 beings worldwide. However, there are no exact figures. Since no organization works to preserve this species, this website wants to give them a home. "
Yes this species will die out soon unless something is done
@SRD, great find!
There really is a wee corner of the internet for everyone...
I am now a registered member.
Turns out there is a book called 'Bicycle stamps' . who knew?
and there was a bicycle stamps magazine?
Verging on Ballardian "invisible literature" there.
