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.

“If we were to do that, it would be nice to have a cafe and another form of attraction to bring in the visitors and so I’d like the locos to be preserved here as part of a small railway museum allied to the farm.

I spotted Uberuce this morning, while climbing the Biggar Road hill towards Fairmilehead.
On my way home I thought I saw Klaxon heading into town near Hillend. I was sort-of-recognised, but that might've just been the bike.
I was given a mighty hi 5 from the Mighty Kaputnik on the towpath after Boroughmuir towards the cute cygnets and ducklings
Six ferrarris in the grassmarket
I really should not go near Facebook.

Two f**wits on a tandem half two in the morning drummochter pitch black one pissy light no high vis not bothering to use the cycle path built for them and they wonder why they die on the roads let's see the secret police do their safe pass with these idiots when you can't see them
Evening Standard has 'cycling controversies' as a valid type of transport story. No other cycling.
Explains a lot if the BBC and so on have the same rule, no?
Lots of CCE illuminati enjoying the closed streets. Also really nice to see Algo - I’ll take up your kind offer of a drink another time.
Not often you get word that a notorious member of Edinburgh's shady cycling mafia lobby is frequenting your local and you find yourself free of children for 5 minutes... next time I'll try and get there quick enough to offer you a round in time - very nice to bump into you...
I have nodded at a cyclist who I spotted coming up MMW on weekday mornings a couple of times recently (this morning being the second occasion) who looks a lot like neddie. I haven't felt that I received any recognition in return so I'm starting to worry that I might be confusing a random.
@jdanielp
Style it out. Keep nodding until they become your friend.

Or take another route..
Or take another route..
Or move city...
Arellcat, Brompletrombling along Shandwick Place.
All good advice, although I was hoping that neddie might pop by to confirm or deny my suspicion.
@jdanielp
Style it out. Keep nodding until they become @neddie.
@jdanielp
Sorry, was too busy observing the rear mech in front of me to notice you until too late. Will nod next time
Someone raised a hand at me on the NEPN this morning - somewhere between the red bridge and Roseburn. No idea who they were, but I waved back anyway as the person behind me was too far back to have been the intended recipient.
@Morningsider (in Morningside) this evening with a very fancy new bicycle that we spent a little time admiring and discussing, despite the patient presence of mini- and micro-Morningsider. It has all the things one needs from a town bicycle: dynamo, roller brakes, nurse's lock, chain case, rack, stand and so on. Unsurprisingly, it's a Gazelle from Hart's.
Spotted @Harts today - well it was easy given that I was in his shop paying him to rebuild my wheel. :)
@steveo Or move city...
Or change their identity...
@wingpig, sorry I didn't spot you in turn. I was hurrying to Waverley to catch a train.
Actually I was trying to take my time because I was a bit early, but I was afraid of not having any contingency on my contingency schedule. Got to Waverley with, er, 20 minutes in hand.
@neddie no problem, I'll keep nodding unless of course I decide to change my route, town and identity as suggested.
Neddie does not respond to a nod. That is Noddy you are thinking of. However Neddie always smiles if you shout Yo Neddie or go for the Hi 5
So jdanielp
Throw off your mantle chains and give Neddie the big Hallooo
Hankchief, or rather hankchief's panniers and then a realisation that the rider was Hankchief this morning.
We were both riding unladen Helios, although as I was going uphill I'll use that as my excuse for being a little slow in my realisation.
Third time lucky spotting neddie and receiving recognition this morning on MMW, although admittedly I did up the ante by waving and vocalising - a nod may have been too subtle.
gembo shout-whispered "J.D.P." as we passed one another in the pouring rain on the towpath last night. I may not have spotted him otherwise because my glasses were smeared with raindrops and I failed to recognise his waterproof attire.
Muscle guy (the one who randomly roared the word 'nipples' at me in the street one winter while wearing nothing above the waist but a trapper hat) wandering round the National Library in flip-flops and very short shorts. Guy in a bow tie shaking his head in disbelief. Seems to be holding it together mind.
ARobComp heading out of town beyond the bypass on the canal towpath just after I left work and then a second spot of neddie who joined at Harrison Park and then chummed me just beyond the swans and the non-lift bridge.
Was in glass box at work for meeting and gazed through window to chap reading this very forum. Risky with new era of scrutiny.
Maybe they were a scrutiniser?
