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.
Apologies if it's old news, but for those who fancy an old school cycling cap (ala Yehuda Moon ;-)), but can't quite find one to suit, here's couple of (ok, 3) links to plans so simple even I may be forced to stab my hands with needles in a vain attempt to emulate ;-);

Thanks for this, Ima defo make one when i next sit down at the machine...
Or get a Lowe Alpine hat with wire supported ear flaps from Go Outdoors. Cozy and water resistant.
..ear flaps??? I think you are missing the point!
I think we are looking less at this style:
and more along these lines:
Both earn style points imho, but the former suits the weather just now and (hopefully!) the latter the weather to come later this year when I may wish some protection for my solar panel(!) which doesn't cause me to overheat :)
The one on the pic on 'dudecraft' looks like a baseball cap (old style fabric one c. 1970s and earlier) NOT the sort I remember my big brother wearing also c. 1970s.
So, not convinced by its authenticity, but don't have anything else to offer - sorry!
Yeah I think he's changed the peak quite radically for the dudecraft one, the other pics show a much shorter peak with a more even radius, I guess that's the advantage of homebrewing, you can make what you like (if you have the appropriate skills hi hi)
There's the Walz Caps ones advertised on the YM site, come in a variety of tweedy colours :)
