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.

resolvedYesterday on the way home on the towpath @Dave spotted me before I spotted @Dave.
I was a big sweaty mess again that day: I'm still dressing for OC when it's actually closer to 10C. I was also back on the commuter bike that tends to encourage overdoing things.
I assume it was Iain McR hailing me from across the north junction at Picardy Place yesterday morning but he hasn't announced it.
Spotted a lady commuting at speed on a gravel bike with the U-lock around the fork crown and down tube. Apart from the possible effect on the steering it was clear the rattling lock was starting to cut into the fork crown itself.
Still, I shall not mansplain.

Guy in Leith on an old downhill MTB with a big rear wheel motor and in-frame battery pack.
Hadn't even bothered putting a chain on it.

cant carry big battery and laptop in same bag else would just go home
bought new bell in Cycle Service £25 Crane - but what a ringer
Can't post a picture until I retrieve my Flickr login from my old phone but it looks like there'll be a walkway from Conference Square to Chuckie Pend round the back of the new building in place of the robot car park. Slightly less useful than the old link between the underside of the conference centre and Chuckie Pend.
@arellcat on elephant at slate ford this morning
@snowy on towpath home
No one at lunch when i perhaps erroneously took road bike down from Crammond Brig to Crammond shore. Path a bit muddy
@LaidBack on a non-laid back bike on Bruntsfield links this arvo. He was on a cargo bike! I was on my way back from the Bike Station.
Yes - amazing that we've intersected twice on the Bruntsfied path in last week.
A brand new UA Family CX Zee for lucky family customer.
I get chance to cycle all sorts of odd stuff!
Spotted Alison Johnstone cycling into town as I jogged up the canal into a fierce headwind.
Exercise v activity
piosad and I experienced a slightly awkward politeness-off on Leamington Lift Bridge this morning as we attempted to give way to one another while constrainted by roadworks.
The maddest mismatch of tyres just now. Red walled skinny slick road-racing tyre on the rear and a 40mm gravel tyre on the front...
Was hailed by Arkeela tonight as I peeled off Wol Path at the steps (Geoff The Brick has been chipped off by whoever sprayed the wall with the massive ROMEO mentchie). I had just said adieu to my buddy who lives further into balerno proper when a voice came from the flood plain Excuse me - do you have a match? I said No but i could cycle to my home one minute away and return with the Lucifers. I took Arkeela back a box of matches and a candle. Just in case. She had 30 scouts arriving for a bonfire but had no way of lighting it. It was a modest fire for sure. She had not heard of Coronavirus.
I spotted and subsequently prevented @miak from going about his business this evening on a slightly eerie feeling walk back home...
I spotted @algo and asked him to kindly to spot me here which he has done ... a first being spotted in a decade... it was lovely to see him! he looked happier walking than i did struggling into the wind and rain which just started as soon as i left work ...where i sat alone ... we live in interesting times
Council workers using a snow clearing attachment to clear the edge of the East Craigs Path Network.
They say they'll be back tomorrow to do some more.
I asked if they'd do Maybury Road but it wasn't on the list :-(

Foot-Algo on what turned out to be my last office-bound commute until whenever, and Fimm? on my way home via Morrison St.
Aha.
Yellow t-shirt, courier bag + panniers?
I thought I recognised you but I couldn't work out who you were, hence the slightly vague wave...
Foot-Algo :-)
yes a pleasant but sanguine winpigchat and a brief chat with Iain McR later on also on foot
did I pass Arobcomp on MMW sometime after 10 this morning?
@SRD nope I was on the canal dropping some supplies to my sisters house in Slateford. Now in town attempting to pick up a few items (including a non-standard mothers day gift that both shows that I appreciate the efforts my wife puts into being a mum, but equally tried not to bow to the commercialisation of mothersday).
So not a million miles out your way but not me.
The Non-Shop - Corson Hardware in Stockbridge has cleared and cleaned two of its shelves in the window in what can only be described as an earth shattering paradigm shift
@gembo shelf isolation.
@jdanielp Corsonavirus
an earth shattering paradigm shift
Perhaps someone has discovered a way to hack the gameplay and change the odds.
@arellcat by distilling paraffin into Nectar?
@Morningsider + 2 small Morningsiders using up their daily exercise allowance just now. I was walking back from the shop having used up my shopping allowance.
