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.
"MAWIL" (from other thread).
Love it. Got my first* piece of lycra for my 40th birthday, followed by cycle jersy for Christmas, so I guess that's me too.
*if you don't count the handmedown tights for skiing from my Dad when I was 16; i never wore them on the bike anyway.
"40th birthday"
Really?? Must be the cycling.
Comfy isn't it?
'Ere, less of the MA=40
I'm pretty sure there isn't universal agreement on the definition, so it's pretty meaningless.
Oh, and I don't fancy having a MA wife...

MA=60 in my view
Congratulations, SRD on the birthday and the lycra. It's a long and slippery slope on both counts and soon you'll be putting the general public off cycling along with the rest of us.
Thanks Min & Amir :) I deduce that Roibeard is 39 ...
I was talking about this with my boss today, occasioned by none other than CCE's Greenroofer.
Middle aged pros:
1) I was impressed by his shed. Shed love is entirely middle aged.
b) I can't abide Radio 1 or 2, preferring Radio 4 and 6. Radio 6 pretends to be cool and alternative, but it's run for and by people who were young and sexy in the 90's.
fourth) I've got arthritis.
Middle age cons:
A) When in B&Q, I still look at the power tools with an eye to zombie apocalypse rather than DIY
last) I can eat whatever the hell I like and still not chub out
2) Does an untidy bedroom count?
@SRD - Sorry to disappoint, I'm not (yet!) there, I'm just married to an older, can't possibly be middle-aged yet, woman...
Robert
my 30s were way better than my 20s, which were definitely better than my teens...can only hope the trend keeps up :)
amir: "MA=60 in my view"
Appreciate that amir.
Was this me? I wouldn't actually describe myself as middle-aged (though I will be 40 next birthday :o( )
it is just a useful acronym which covers the stereotype I wanted to portray.
I was reading a magazine once that had a section on "middle aged women and.." something I forget*. One of the women was 37. I googled it and apparently you're middle aged at 35.
*must be old age
Nah. Definitely 40, I never needed facial moisturizer before, and now I am going through buckets of it, and my skins now does that 'crepey' thing the adverts are always going on about...and wrinkles :(
Maybe they'll increase the middle-age lower limit from ((three score and ten)/two) now that the availability of good food and healthcare in some societies have made reaching seventy reasonably routine.
They're not wrinkles, they're laughter lines ;-)
