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.
So it seems each weekend I find some good bit of TV, but these are scattered through the forum and I thought it would be nice to have a whole thread full of our favorite bits of moving image.
Today I found this footage of the last lap of the 2009 cyclocross world cup. Sven Nys totally is totally dominating the opposition and then he falls...
Any more? Doesnt have to be cyclocross, or even racing, but it should be human powered :)
Linked to another thread http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2093 with beautiful frame building montage.
Well its the weekend so Im drinking tea and avoiding the thought of doing the espy's 'iron man' in a couple of hours..
Heres an amazingly long homemade travel journal, wich would be rather prosaic if not for the fact he let his (very sarcastic) wife do all the captions...
Were you the penguin? How did you get on?
very poorly, as in I got very poorly and dropped out :(
no where near the weekend but I seeing as he is in the news at the moment you might like this doco on Obree searlised on youtube.
Oh look, its the weekend again! For your veiwing pleasure this week Ive decided to go on a bit of a RAAM fest. (Race Across America)
First up a couple of trailers for documentaries that look good:
Serialized full doco from the 2005 RAAM:
A 59 minute doco on the recumbent 4 man team from bent up cycles:
Woof! Your 4 mile commute doesn't seem so bad now huh?
Classic, growing-up-in-a-small-town with hard-times, town/gown and cycling themes, movie.
@chdot :D
link to the excellent 'kind of mechanised tramp' thread.
CHdot - note how smooth the main characters legs are in Breaking Away (on the right). Marion your son is shaving. Howard, that is normal for boys his age. His legs?? [Marion and Howard not real names, they are from another originally quite similar or indeed totally nicked mom and dad who adopted Arthur Fonzarella if you know who I mean CUNNINGHAM)
got this from the german trailsurfer blog.
I dont know about the soundtrack as I had some pounding drum and base at the time but its some quality footage of some quality racing.
excellent find by Dave C of this urban downhill run.
That made me :)
That was very clever. Thanks.
braw
Now I'm not a fan of mountain biking due to my bad sense of balance and being a cowardy custard - that just doesn't seem like fun to me. But if I did mountain bike, I'd like to do it like this
Mr Pugley on Patrol has the right idea! Like hiking but slightly faster and without the sore knees and soles at the end of the day! Nice contrast to the video on the other thread filmed going up Redstone in the winter. Same activity just 2 contrasting takes on it.
So there is this trailer I found via bike hugger and people are aware that The Flying Scotsman is on iPlayer right?
Mr pugley. Am sitting in an industrial estate in easterhouse, how much do I want to go and play ?
Answer.... hunners !
Great film, loved it
I imagine if CCE did a flash mob on Porty Prom, it would turn out a little bit like this:
Paris-Roubaix is one of the sporting highlights of the year for me. So much so that this weekend I spent the best part of four hours on the warmest Sunday of the year so far in a darkened room...
Here's some fantastic super-slo-mo footage of expensive bikes and riders going over some rough old cobbles (spotted on the excellent inrng.com). Bring this to mind next time you're cycling through Drummond Place...

Dammit, where is that black and white video of the three guys crossing the Lammimuirs in the middle of winter, trying to link it up for someone....
How's the blog going?
Yup its going good, Ive written an entry for every day so far but haven't linked them all cos I didn't wanna seem to much of a self-trumpeter but you can read the latest as always here: http://ruggcat.worpress.com
Check this out! Bad soundtrack but amazing run http://wimp.com/downhillsession/
Equally annoying sound (screaming commentators) but still pretty rad http://wimp.com/winningrun/
Carlton Reid tweeted this earlier. I'm not sure if it's meant to - but the ending made me laugh!
(P.S. It's a consenting adult, who knew exactly clearly had no idea what they were doing!)
some interesting TV about at the moment, First a set of funny TDF clips from the guardian here.
and currently on iplayer is 'On Hanibals Trail' wich is a bike touring/ancient history combo and looks like a good wheeze. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00t4kh3/On_Hannibals_Trail_Hitting_the_Road/
. Superfantastico! Bicycle ballet with music by Satie.
@Kaputnik, re the pugsley/lammermuirs vid, that's why your tourer has sensible width tyres and a nice steel frame, landrover tracks and hard footpaths are viable routes ;-)
