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.
Don’t know if this has be discussed before (5 years old version above).
New one at today’s TEC -

Cycling Infrastructure
Edinburgh has 308 km of cycle routes including 203 km of routes physically separated from vehicles. 52% of people on Edinburgh are familiar with the traffic-free routes in Edinburgh.
As part of the Edinburgh Street Design Guidance, new cycling infrastructure will be considered when any carriageway and footway renewal scheme is being carried out. This may result in existing infrastructure being upgraded or additional infrastructure being installed.
Once cycling infrastructure is in place the ongoing maintenance is the responsibility of the Locality Transport Teams. On-Road cycle lanes are prioritised for capital investment with carriageways. Off- Road cycleways are prioritised for capital investment with footways.
As part of the prioritisation procedures for capital carriageway investment, roads that are on the Council’s Family Cycle Network or roads that have an existing cycle lane will have an additional 5% weighting applied. This results in accelerated renewal of these roads and, therefore, accelerated, improvements for cyclists.

Good to see the Council striving to meet their recycling target.
I initially assumed the 2024 version was you being satirical.
Oh wow.
“I initially assumed the 2024 version was you being satirical.“
Thanks for the compliment…
Nah, waste of time trying to make stuff up about CEC…
Sad facts are
1) no significant improvements in 5 years
2 that said, not remotely clear those figures are accurate!
On a day when plans for closures of CEC Leisure facilities are revealed - https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/eight-edinburgh-leisure-pools-pitches-28427926
A) decent cycling infrastructure is even more important
B) even more pressure on ‘priorities’
C) ‘different budgets’, ‘that’s capital/revenue’ (delete as appropriate)
Abandon hope
