CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

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.
heard this on the World service the other night & had to share:

In 1967, the American athlete Kathrine Switzer, became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon.
At the time, athletics officials believed women were incapable of running more than a mile and a half.
After crossing the finishing line, Switzer was disqualified.
It was an experience that turned her into a campaigner for women's sport.
"At the time, athletics officials believed women were incapable of running more than a mile and a half."
That's almost funny - but ridiculous of course.
Though plenty of people don't think they can cycle even a mile and a half!
