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.
You give a shoulder check when changing lane - as a pedestrian!
I caught myself doing this in the NRIE corridor this week...
It's pretty well founded that cycling improves one's driving (awareness, making good progress through correct speed and gearing, observation, etc) but didn't realise it had impacted my walking!
Anyone else find they've picked up cycling habits off the bike?

"You give a shoulder check"
Oh, that sort of check - not a soccer one!
I bellow "PEDESTRIAN COMING THROUGH" when approaching tourists :)
I knew I was a cyclist when.... I found myself pushing my son in his pram in the cycle lane on a road instead of the pavement!
You give a shoulder check when changing lane - as a pedestrian!
Yeah, I find myself doing this all the time! I also find myself walking on the cycle half of Middle Meadow Walk, then remembering that as a pedestrian I probably have a legal right to do so, then deciding to play safe after all.
YKWYACW while driving:
* You're constantly frustrated because you know if you'd cycled you could use the bus lane to whizz past the stupid traffic.
* You have to stop and mentally work out a route through town that doesn't use Middle Meadow Walk and all the bollarded side streets, and then realise you also need to find somewhere to park.
* You wonder how on earth anyone manages to drive from A to B with all the restrictions.
on a slightly different note, YKWYAlorry driver when you look for your mirrors when you go past something interesting and want a sneaky look !......on your bike !
You know when you're a cyclist when... you sit on a bicycle and turn the pedals, what else do you need to do?
YKYACW you go for a ride without being sponsored.
