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.

@CyclingEdin @urbaneprofessor inspired by this:
would your followers be interested in Edinburgh midnight cycle? jan 28?

Well Hilly Tuesdays ® happen.
Don't think the roll from the Castle to Leith (and other proposals) ever happened.
Don't know what (if anything) is special about 28th apart from being last Sat of month.
Was thinking 28th just because It is a saturday night but a sunday could be cool too
Welcome emmomac
Could be more fun than Critical Mass which doesn't seem to work in Edinburgh.
I'm sure there will be posters here happy with Midnight, and others preferring earlier.
Suggest you suggest a starting place - bottom of The Mound?? and see what happens.
I'll be in London, but others won't...
there is something nice about midnight. especially when the moon is out. also allows people to get creative with their lights!
"also allows people to get creative with their lights!"
Some people don't need any encouraging...
I'd do it but later in the year. At the moment, I am getting enough nighttime cycling through commuting
@amir, I'd second that!
June would be good.
The thing I found last night may have been that night rides make me too buzzy to sleep.
I say 'may have been' since I bought Skyrim last weekend and am typically addicted. I simply could not get to sleep until I'd found enough Orichalcum ore to polish up my heavy armour and trapped enough Grand and Greater Souls to get their enchantment mojo swinging hefty.
Gosh, Uberuce, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about! I used to play Dungeon Master when I was younger, though, that might've possibly caused a few late nights.
I'll be at a birthday party with possibly 50 toddlers that day. Will be firmly asleep come midnight.
Great idea though.
I thought this might be an 'overnight' ride thread, Im up for that! but could be persuaded into some town cruising too.
If it's overnight you're after there's always the Dunwich Dynamo...
There's a Scottish version of that, on a much smaller scale, called the Dumb Run. Dumbarton to (I think) St Andrews.
"If it's overnight you're after there's always the Dunwich Dynamo..."
I fancy this, but can't explain why!!
(My relations and friends have done it.)
yeah I was doing a dumb run of my own!
I fancy this, but can't explain why!!
Must be the draw of the full moon.
June would be good.
How about this June then? Only a year in the planning!
