You can still cycle on the canal even though it has melted.

The one at the bottom looks fancy but I prefer the one at the top. It is more in keeping with the spirit of cycling on water I think!
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.

this links to the debate about what you should wear when cycling. The top chap might get his suit wet but the bottom lad is in lycra when neoprene might be a better bet no need of course for helmets when cycling on water (unless morbid fear of submerged rocks).
Deep sea diving helmet like Pt Fraser had?
He was doomed of course.
Once tried to bunny hop an old BMX we found in the bottom of Powmill Quarry (12 metres underwater) but discovered that 1, it's very difficult to pedal in fins and 2. All the silt kicked up means the photos don't come out, poo! :-(
Never managed to cycle on the top of the water though....
