CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.
I saw the signs at East Parkside and Duddingston Road West saying the path will be closed from 1430-1530 that day, but hadn't clocked the reason - thanks.
One of the Kiltwalk routes also goes along the Innocent on the 14th, so it'll be busy in the morning too. https://www.thekiltwalk.co.uk/events/edinburgh

My all time favourite editions I get a mention and so does MY puddle
Surely any puddle ownership has a ship of Theseus problem
Ok, alright already, technically it is the Farmer’s puddle

@bakky - thanks and good work trying to interact with Voi!
In 1995 I developed a plan with Glasgow Council to install a robustly specified cycle stand with tendering to spec rather than price. This included layouts for space efficiency, a tapping rail & colour contrast for VI pedestrians, plus branding/sponsorship to fund the parking & make it more visible on street
Also in 1996 (Utrecht) & 2002 (Cambridge) the design detail that can hold bikes neatly upright, each individually accessible, with 24 bikes on a single car parking space, plus the capability to use this system for trikes, tandems, long-tails, long-johns/bakfiets & 'bents (often using 2-3 spaces for wider bikes. Stands to this design can have an electronically released lock, with tamper alarm securely fixed to each cycle space for users to 'hire' (or have a reserved place). Unfortunately the lack of innovative thinking across almost every UK Council, Rail operator, University, NHS estates & Architects has to date seen
For Voi this can provide a more precise hire hub management system than the imprecise (& signal dependent) geo-fencing) by having passive RFID handshakes when a bike is placed in a specific bike parking space. This in turn enables the bike hire app to show precisely which bike stand at a hire hub, is occupied by a specific bike, so that a customer can see, & possibly reserve a bike for when their train or express coach arrives
The data captured can also provide key figures for contractual performance by Voi to meet any standards set by the Council (per Section 97?)
I'm popping this around to a few folk & am keen to discuss this please circulate
PM for full contact details-my current situation is seriously constrained with poor mobile signal &other factors in NHS Gartnaval

Stunning piece of work
Seems more than previous weeks
Worth a skim down to list of path/road closures (a lot!)
agree. I've also just learned that "Port Hamilton Cyclepath" is the name of a route my whole family uses - and misses at the moment.
We've always just called the whole thing the 'quiet way to/from Princes st'.
Since the works are carrying on until 2027, the Port Hamilton route really needs a safe (ie protected) on-road diversion
Anyone up for a campaign?
Also, the diversion around Port Hamilton clearly hasn't been thought about by anyone for more than 5 seconds, as there is a no left turn into Gardeners Crescent.
