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.

First day cycling to work today. Reckon it will save me around £50 a month train fare and buff me up good. If I can stick to it...

Where's he coming from (and where are their offices)?
Could CCE offer route advice, celebrity escort, and so on?
I assume he's in Glasgow.
There have been various 'Bike Buddy' schemes (Edinburgh and elsewhere), not sure how many takers they get.
Could someone point me to an Edinburgh 'Bike Buddy' scheme pls.
Cheers
Dave C

@CyclingEdin I did but luckily I've got a direct, no-nonsense route to work on the Forth and Clyde canal. No roads (or planning) involved

Dave C - not aware of one, but we might be able to figure something out on here? Already have coffee (and Arthur's seat) buddy systems...
Spokes used to offer 'buddies' (may still do).

Think this is leisure ride buddies (but hardly a busy thread) -

£50 a month is not much for train fares, assuming works 5 day week about £2.50 a day. Given his route is canal towpath that would put him in the West End of Glasgow?. If he lives further out and only goes in a few times a week he might live in Lenzie or Kirkintilloch. Canal towpath decent surface until at least Possil and apart from the odd jakey a nice commute to work. Herald moved from Candleriggs [but the Press Bar did not sell out so the condominiums that were put into the space where the newspaper building was drop 8 storeys for the length of the pub then go back up again]. Office now might be in Renfield St.
It's printed in Cambuslang but the journalists are where STV used to be. Address is indeed Renfield St.
I stopped reading it when they went behind a pay wall recently. Mostly I just read the Letters and Iain MacWhirter anyway. You can get MacWhirter's pieces on his blog a wee while later.
The old STV building at Cowcaddens very close to where the Canal Towpath comes out.
