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 a post from Cycle Law Scotland. THey we’re representing a cyclist taken out by another cyclist at intersection of NCN75 and NCN7 - Black Cart Water Renfrewshire. Way
Both cyclists were tanking it
And the ruling seems to be
We should all look out for each other instead of behaving like dicks.
Anyone else see this or did I dream it?
I saw it
Not sure where
Quite a good summary for a dream…
Think it was a while ago

I remember reading the judgement, I recall the learned and no doubt non-cycling judge had pretty unreasonably low ideas of ‘safe’ speeds on bike paths (ie much less than the suggested(?) 15mph)
‘Mr Franklin had an undisputed expertise and his impartial evidence had not been contradicted. The crucial element of his evidence concerned the safe speed at which the parties could have approached the Y-junction, namely 10mph for Mr Merrick and 7mph for Mr Dick. All the evidence of speed suggested on a balance of probabilities that the approach speed of both parties was substantially in excess of the safe speed. If so, then both parties were in breach of their respective duties to take reasonable care.’
Oddly enough Mr Vehicular Cycling appears to have thought bikes weren’t like cars when he was on pay…
@murun that really sounds like a dream? Though i have had some black garlic oil in a nice Japanese restaurant tonigh which always gives me an inordinate feeling of well-being. Messers Unman, Wittering and Zygo must be about somewhere?
