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.
Anyone up for this Friday? It's been a stressful week for one reason and another (and another and another) so what better way to relax than imbibing caffeine.
Er.
Anyway, I know it's short-ish notice. But I'll be PYing on Friday no matter what the feeling.
I fully intend to be tucked up in bed at 0730 on Friday, Sorry. ;)
I wouldn't be able to make it very earlily but could get there at some point...
Anth I have a courier delivery coming so was going to probably be late for work anyway hanging around for it, so can count me in.
Statutory reminder -
For newcomers (ALL welcome) -
"Normally from 7.30 to 8.30 for most folk."
Some people hang on past nine.
You're getting quicker with that Mr Dot... ;)
Yeah go on then..
I'll doubtless pootle by around 9ish and be very happy to sit and chat with anyone who is still hanging about.
Meeting a lahndahn pal at RM Star*ucks on Friday so cannae make it again. My cinnamon level is at an all time low.
I'll be in the office building up l'flexi...

Roibeard looks like he was making the most effort not to frighten potential cyclists off. The rest of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
:)
I appear to be doing the "it was this long" hand action
Clicky pic doesn't appear to work,

Look at you lot, looking healthy and sociable. Ruining cycling for everyone.

"I was this close to his wheel when the fairies got me, damn grail!"
I smell a caption competition. Standard £1 Puncture repair kit to the winner...
"Well they got the sit bone measuring tool out... then I realised I had to cycle more."
@amir - Roibeard had the reflective band and dayglo cover on a H*****T - he was the worst possible advertisement for citizen cyclery!
Dave's photo shows just how effective even small patches of retroreflective are when caught in a light.
Evil Anth...
Anth doing leith Junkie chic...... the whole thing looks like a poor mans dragons den......
You won't feel the benefit...
Mwuhahahahahahaha! (I need a haircut...)
"The collected cyclists were sceptical of kaputnik's boast. There was no way his mini-pump was that long"
Speaking of butt measuring... I was cycling round South York last Saturday and my friend had a Specialized saddle and told me the Specialized shop in York has a Butt measurement tool to measure the width of the bones apparently, where they can then recomend the right width saddle, which I believe comes in 5mm increments width... The mond boggles at what casual shoppers would think looking in through the window where a chap is bent over and the shop assistant is measuring the shoppers rear end.....
"Dave's photo shows just how effective even small patches of retroreflective are when caught in a light. "
The rims on the front wheel of the red bike are impressively reflective
Kaputnik: "The taxi gave me this much room..."
Everyone Else: "Wow, that much?"
The part of the dormouse in today's drama was played by Anth.
EDIT: and twitter has just informed me that it's lewis carrolls birthday today!
Thats my Orange Cotic Amir, its parked in Dave's spot as I had forgotten my lock this morning. They are Schwabe Snow tyres.
"I know they just look like little grey strips, but trust me, when Dave's photo comes out I'm going to look at least this Tron"
"My pointy hat has a point this long"
Nice to see everyone today. Sorry I wasn't really with it this morning. I am now at home and unable to relax because I am worried about work..
