CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 17years 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.
not resolvedHelp Pedal on Parliament target invites to known MSP cyclists, which also helps shortlist a potential political speaker...
Comments enabled on this sheet or drop them in here. So far I have:
Kate Campbell - SNP (great speech at Spokes hustings)
Simita Kumar - SNP
Sanne Dijkstra-Downie - LD
Holly Bruce - Greens
Ariane Burgess - Greens
Maggie Chapman - Greens
Patrick Harvie - Greens
Mark Ruskell - Greens
Lorna Slater - Greens
Does Lorna Slater take to a bike?
I'm not sure I actually confirmed so, but a couple of her videos lately at BANZAI cargo bike hub and Bike Station, so...
I think it’s safe to say she is not a ‘regular bike user’
Obviously, as ‘we’ say, ‘personal choice’
As with anyone else, there may be personal reasons. Being a ‘public figure’ doesn’t mean that ‘the public’ needs to know ‘everything’
It could be reasons that affect many people - ‘lack of safe infrastructure’!
It may also be that as a high profile politician in highly divisive times, she has been advised (or chosen) not to
I think it’s safe to say that now she is MSP for the centre of Edinburgh she will continue to be supportive of cycling and anything that encourages more people to ride bikes more often
Perhaps she will come to PoP on a Voi - unless she really doesn’t ride (for whatever reason)
…
Nice constituency
Bit of Roseburn Corridor, most of new route to the canal and start of Innocent

Plus Meadows and most of the PoP route
@bakky that seems fair enough like she took the time to go to. The Bike Station which is nice but i fear she told them she lived in a tenement and would like infra before she felt safe enough which as Illustrious Leader says is OK
