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

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.
I drove to Hermiston park n ride to park and cycle to work this morning. Unfortunately there's a 1.9m height restriction barrier, that I didn't see.....
I would have thought the council would encourage bikes on roof racks there. There aren't many obvious places to park if you want to cycle part of your commute into Edinburgh.
To anyone planning on parking and cycling, be aware some Park and rides do have them (Straiton & Hermiston) whereas others dont (Ingleston)
Damm. How bad is the damage?
Bike's ok ;-)
Roof rack slid back a few inches and has dented the roof though :-(
Shamefully (illegally?) there is no warning sign for Hermiston P&R before one reaches the height restriction barrier.
Straiton P&R is 1.9m; Sheriffhall P&R is 2.0m; Newcraighall doesn't have a height restriction at all, and I don't think Ingliston has one either.
Sorry to hear this renrut. I did once see a chap at Straiton load his new bike from Halfords onto a (new?) roof rack and then drive it straight into the very solid 2m height barrier - the bike was well mangled and roof rack ripped off.
