Ok
So have the polis rescued all the ammo?
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.

I saw the Slateford ducklings yesterday morning as I cycled into town on the towpath just east of the aqueduct and they said all the guns and grenades are out. Pretty much just shopping trolleys left for the magnet fisher folk.
They do mostly fish under bridges does seem like a peculiar hobby.
Josh Quigley level with Inchmarlo up on Deeside, day 2, he has spurned the chance yet again five times so far to go up Cairn O Mount
He is 4.5 laps (each of 80 miles) into the record and is currently ahead.
If I were aiming to cycle 320 miles a day every day for a week, my route would not involve going anywhere near Braemar.
It's actually not that bad in terms of elevation, but I'd definitely have been going parallel rather than perpendicular to the coast.
Wet and windy for sure @Frenchy
Josh has about 70 miles to go to the halfway point of the record.
He also has 3 days and 20 hours of time left.
So he is ahead.
Though he has to sleep
I also imagine in these extreme enduro records the second half is harder?
He is now just over the half way with 2.5 hours to spare. Will that be enough though?
IanM, howling like a demented wolf, as he cycled along Seaview yesterday evening. Told my kids to I had no idea who he was, and to keep cycling.
@urchaidh, wise.
Josh now has 3 days and 9 hours to cycle 1000 miles. Phew
Not started today and Behind for first t8me so hopefully he is ok
Seems to be moving again.."?
Abandoned after day 3 at 55 percent completed with injured knee. 1000 miles in 3 days not too bad.
Large queue tea time, Balerno polling station. Why not go later? I think they want to stand mingling in a legitimate manner.
Passed by urchaidh on in the rain on the innocent path this afternoon.
Belated reciprocal spot of @chrisfl. Was wet right enough, on our way to the new Alpkit store for some retail therapy.

Fimm reeling in cyclist in front going east through Currie Sat pm
I was disguised as car passenger
Not on Saturday - might have been Friday evening?
Pedalling to watch Mini Twinspark's football match yesterday I spotted 2 girls in Gilmour Road. The first was clearly on a new bike and had a happy birthday tag round her neck. Got a cheery smile from both and wave from the second one!
Delightful to see youngsters out on bikes.
@Morningsider politely dealing with @miniGreenroofer and @microGreenroofer who seem to have invited themselves to use the carriage drive of Morningsider Mansion as a vantage point for the very exciting goings-on in Morningside.
It would appear that Greenroofer Towers isn't good enough for them...
@fimm ah yes, we had been to taste good for Chinese carry out and were returning west
@Greenroofer - nice to chat with them, a pleasure as always.
A pair of pedalling polis on WoL path by Currie
Path muddy?
Yep. I was on foot though so mud stayed below waist height. Saw a few speckly riders sans mudguards.
Lovely lunch at the Mill cafe. I might have brought the average age down.
@sheeptoucher of this parish regularly lowers the age average. Mill Cafe supplies good purvey.
Where is the Mill Cafe?
In the church hall just on the roundabout as you enter Balerno.

Lovely soup / sandwiches and well spread out tables.
They don’t mind you chaining your bike to their railings either.
