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.
Just realised that the old thread title might be confusing now. The vigil is on Tuesday 31st May, 6pm, at Shandwick Place/Rutland Place where Zhi Min Soh's ghost bike is.
Here is SRD's post relating to the Facebook details in case you haven't seen them at the end of the discussion thread. Thanks.
FB event now up: http://fb.me/e/2xGAPmGVB
if you're on FB please 'invite' people who may be interested, sign up to attend if you can, etc
Will be at the Vigil this evening, hope to see some of you.
I intend to head over on foot.
See you all there.
Good to see

Nice to see the crowd there. Some went to Mathers Bar I hear (@Hartscyclery leading them astray)
@Gembo - Ulli in a bucket
That was Shannon Galpin - she's recovering from a TIA / mini stroke at moment so Kim was doing his taxi service. Normally out on her e-bike - hope she gets better soon.
I was there. The vigil began with Coldplay's Paradise, which was a favourite song of Zhi Min Soh. I don't know the song and have checked it out on Youtube. The video shows a lot of cycling.

Directly on the marked lane for cyclists crossing the rails... this, clunking as the broken concrete moves & breaks up more under every 12-18T bus rolling over it

For context, obliquely striking a ridge over 6mm high with a cycle tyre will deflect it sideways - this is at least 30mm in places. Also any crack wider than 10mm can trap or kick a cycle tyre off course
Didn't get an opportunity to measure this, & really needed a proper camera to focus in on the moving lumps of concrete
Checked out Shandwick Place over a dozen similar damaged sections on my Flickr feed
Sounds bad - but I think you need to make that photo publicly accessible?
