CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 14years 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.

illustrious leader CHdot maybe bump this to a thread of its own Chris Boardman opening new Halfords in Edinburgh - Good opportunity to get him backing PoP?

@chdot when did it evolve and move to alvanley Tce?
Edinburgh Cycle Hire (not to be confused with businesses of same/similar names in more recent years) opened in a small part of AT in 1978. The hire operation was essentially seasonally and this shop started selling new bikes (helped by an expansion into the basement).
The EBC rebranding happened in about 1980.
The original shop closed a few years later.
Old thread, but I couldn’t find a newer one ‘documenting’ new shops.
Don’t know how many have appeared in last five years, but I know there are some I still haven’t visited!
Just came across this on the web while looking for something else.
Certainly seems to be different from most.
E.g. -
