CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years 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.

Is this a case of developers trying to externalise costs? They build the properties and sell them before expecting the government to pick up the cost of flood defences.

About thirty gabions in now and still not touching the exposed girder
