Anyone involved??
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.

I wonder if they'll cycle the wrong way up the Forrest Road cycle lane again?
First I've heard about it.
"First I've heard about it."
Must be a new bicycle polo faction in Edinburgh!...
Maybe some fixie types trying to be hip? I'm sure it would be 'fun' if you don't mind the injuries and damage to your bike!
It is fun. Just got to get yourself a polo beater bike. Edinburgh is hosting the british championships in july. Unfortunately I'll be on holiday...... Loads of info on bike polo in Edinburgh at http://edinburghbikepolo.com/ Folks will lend you a bike if you want to try it out.
@recombodna I'm sure it's great fun if you have the skills. I can imagine a fixed gear bike is near essential for control.
I can also imagine I'd be totally rubbish at it! :)
Na I've got a 3 speed with a coaster brake. No skills. Why not imagine you'd be good at it? The power of positive thinking!!
Anyway I've not played for ages coz boring things like family and stuff got in the way of me playing in the park on my bike at the ripe age of 37...........
Today - 5.30pm
I take it no-one went??
Yes I was there and it looked great fun. There is a video on STV Local - you have to get past the short advert. http://local.stv.tv/edinburgh/news/255407-3-2-1-polo-edinburgh-bike-polo-take-to-the-streets I also took some photos but I haven't had the chance to download them yet.
Kim - any crows?
