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.

When the last rider rolls across the Tour de France finish line in Paris on 27 July it will mark more than the end of the world’s most prestigious bike race. Once Gary Imlach and team have wrapped up, it will conclude four decades of free-to-air Tour coverage for British TV viewers.

I have tasked my kids with trying to turn the theme tune into a ring tone (not that I ever have my phone ringer on).
brilliant! thank you!
now to try and get it on my phone (those otherwise useless kids can probably do that)
much complaining later it has been installed!
it's on! we have multiscreen on the TV and two laptops - one running pro cycling stats and one on the Guardian live blog.
Is this thread spoiler free?
Sean Flynn on the floor, but has got back on.
And Ganna - but also back on. Spoiler free maybe?
In my brain it would have been a spoiler to mention Ganna but not Flynn (local interest).
“Is this thread spoiler free?“
Were there ITV highlights last night? We looked for them but only found the full broadcast.
Today we have ITV on the main tv and the multi screen On a laptop for when we mute the ITV ads.
Loved the clips of young Chris Boardman and young Gary on the (delayed) start.
Highlights will be corking tonight if you can find them - I bet ITV4 7pm. No spoiler but Boardman not back until Paris
"When posed the question of what it’s like to be only the seventh and eighth riders from their country to compete at the Tour, but to now be part of a surge in riders at different levels of the sport competing across Europe, both Sean and Oscar were quick to point to one beneficial influence at the start of it.
“I think Scottish Cycling played a big part in that. They were really fundamental for myself, and I guess also for Sean too, in the pathway that they provided when we were youth and junior riders,” says Oscar.
Sean agrees: “I think the support and organisation that they had was great. All of the initiatives they have in place and the effort they put into creating a development structure that really helps a lot too now in more guys coming through the ranks.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised in a few years if it’s not just two but three, or four, or five Scottish riders up there. I’m obviously biased but I think we carry ourselves in a certain sort of way and the values that we have, such as hard work, grit and determination, that helps us to do well.”
More Scots in the WorldTour, but also further afield too, wouldn’t surprise Oscar either: “I think in the next couple of years we’re going to see more and more riders, not just in road cycling but also on the track and mountain biking. I think we’re getting a bit of a snowball effect.”
Good also to see in our velo games league. A ce moment la a certain Kdorm [possibly related to @srd] didnt even use their full 100 points
Great stage on Bastille Day
excellent stage indeed.
Highlights 7-8 ITV4
Seems very entertaining, only managed to watch the Bastille day stage so far and very brief highlights. Lots of guys animating the race too.
Women's Giro very close as well. Glad to see Anna Henderson get time in pink
The team currently leading Velogames is called "The One and Onley"
Good ITV rest day show!
Did not expect to see a Morningside Councillor on it.
“We need to see real action from our governing body to position the cycling world on the right side and to show awareness of what’s going on in Gaza,” De Marchi said. “We have to show that as a cycling world we care about human rights and international law violations.”

Today’s stage is hard. No change there. Although the route between Albertville and La Plagne, the last proper mountain stage of this year’s Tour, has been shortened at the last minute due to an outbreak of disease among cattle in the local area.

King Zog Triumphs!
[/url]
I demand a count back. I cant see where that 6 points came from. I. Think the British State have intervened to stop Kneecap from winning.
Ha,, or 206 points.
I never take victory in VeloGames for granted until the final weird calculation. But thought I was safe this year as none of the top 3 had Pog and I had Wout winning the stage and the 2nd 3d and 4th place and Green. But all hail King Zog
we thought one of the teams that had Pogacar (such as a certain Mr Hume) would triumph in the end.
Yes i feared a last minute Pogacar. Pile. On but we were too far ahead of the obvious to lose. Pog did make the Montmartre climbs viable. And as with every stage it was interesting [just not for first and second]
