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.
Cycling home this evening (rush hour) on the NEPN, at around St George’s School, and saw someone on a powered scooter doing, I kid you not, in excess of 30mph. It was, frankly, terrifying the speed they were going at.
I didn’t think powered scooters were able to go that fast; clearly I was wrong.
Not really sure what the point of this post is, other than to warn folks to stay safe out there.
Yeah, I've clocked that guy a couple of times. Some of those powered scooters can do 50+mph, there's videos of the them on the Paris Peripherique (motorway ring road).
I've also seen hooded guys on a petrol motorbike at around 16:45 heading North/East on the NEPN.
Talking to another female parent, this has a real impact, it makes her scared to use the path. She has even been accosted by NEDs who demanded she open her pannier!
