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.
Was 'spotted' today out on the new Helios, not by someone who wanted to know where I got it, but by someone who already has one! Maybe we should have a club or group rides?
Thought others might also find this article/review about two blokes riding a Helios on Islay with (inter alia) Graham Obree interesting.
Thanks for the link SRD, we used to go to Islay twice a year on holidays untuil I was about 15 or 16 and haven't been back in a few years. I'm going there on the bike this spring as part of my "11 (and counting) malts" touring route.
Regarding Obree's fluorescent pink bike (picture, page 3), Cycling Weekly went for a ride around Ayrshire with him and reviewed it. Custom built time-trial-track-road hybrid thing with a unique riding position incorporting super-narrow bars that probably only Obree could ever think up and his usual gigantic chainrings.
Hello SRD
I am your spotter. Would love to go on a club ride.

Nice to meet you! We'll have to make a plan - how does Harrison Park to Cramond sound?
Gulp, that sounds quite ambitious SRD! Are you in Harrison Park then? Maybe a trip along the canal while I'm still getting to grips with it.
The whole forum lives in Harrison Park. Apparently.
(Other Parks are available.)
Perhaps they are not as nice as Harrison Park!!
The whole forum lives in Harrison Park.
K'nik - dare you to illustrate that!
@LJB - we did a nice run last summer from HP to Spylaw which is fun.
The whole forum lives in Harrison Park.
should be easy to go change the servers for something more reliable then ;)
and whatever happened to the innocent railway bias?
The Polwarth Massive in effect!!!
I saw a guy on some kind of helois style cargo bike affair going past my house while I was in the drive building a bike out of spare junk I had lying around for my 12 year old nephew to ride...( yes I had enough old bits to make an actual drop handlebar 5 speed with a 26" front wheel and a 27" back wheel)..It was like a polwarth version of american chopper but without the facial hair........anyway thought he may have been something to do with SRD as he was heading in the direction of her house....not that I'm a curtain twitcher or anything .......
You spotted chdot and didn't know it! (spytfyre could probably think of a way to make that rhyme...) On his 8-freight rescuing my old bike.
Aha!!! Nice Bike chdot!
According to Cycle streets the HP - Cramond ride is about 40 minutes (search 472186) with a fair bit of it off-road.
