CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 16years 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.

resolvedWoman in a blue jacket setting an absolutely cracking* pace along the towpath from Hermiston to Slateford (well, I thought so and I reckon I set a fair pace myself) on an interesting looking drop-handle black singlespeed at around 5pm.
Probably someone on here, judging by the rather specialised nature of the bike.
*For the record, she (and I) took all the dangerous bits carefully and at reasonable pace, but opened up the throttle on bits with clear sightlines and no other traffic.
Spotted a cheerful SRD on Helios tandem waiting to cross Melville Drive while I was accelerating eastwards to LBB.
spotted that moulton too, must be a student as it was exactly the same place as the photo. nice runnabout!
A student with a big wallet!
Recombodna and Recombodnettes cycling in convoy c3.50pm - returning home from a ride?
Uberuce swooping through Polwarth roundabout [or should that be traffic circle...] c4.45
@SRD: SMIDSY.
I shouted too ! Like at a Springsteen concert :)
[I'm actually more of a Cockburn fan. but Springsteen's older and newer stuff is growing on me - specially the Pete Seeger tribute album, which is the first of his I've ever bought]
group of cyclists heading up the innocent at Bingham around 2.30 today
anyone know who they were
most on commuter type bikes
Probably -
good call,that looks interesting
might join one of them once i actually get back on the bike
Bakfiets with two children on board going across The Meadows and towards Tollcross - Sunday at 3.30'ish. Mum on solo bike.
Anyone here?
Chap on an MTB with the most knackered back wheel I've ever seen on a moving bike.
The chain wasn't just rusted, it was Aphex Twinning so fearsomely that my ears started trying to Venus Flytrap themselves shut to block out the noise. The tyre may or may not have been offset as well, but the rim was certainly so out of true that once a revolution it knocked the left pad of the cantilever, which rebounded so far that I doubt it could have had much braking effect.
In my bad-cold state I didn't have any spare breath to suggest he take it round the back of the barn and blow its brains out with Grandpaw's shotgun, so I just settled on overtaking him(for he was naturally riding slowly).
Caught me up at the lights, delicious irony.
Leaving the house at 8:30am seems to be the sweet-spot for maximum cycling-clumping!
Joined 5 other cyclists along Gilmore Place - cycled with most of them to middle meadow walk. I feel motor traffic behaves differently when there's that many bikes around.
Also it just feels really good to have that many people cycling. We've nearly reached critical mass! Woohoo! :D
Yes, clumping! A record seven cyclists in the ASL box at foot of Morrison Street (well 5 in the box and 2 in the filter lane).
More of this please.
Man in Full mapei-colour-esque lycra, riding a pink too-small-full-sus-BSO along the pavement at Gamekeepers Road. Child following behind normally dressed on bigger bike.
Very odd.
Boardman track bike converted to Alfine hub gear on Morrison Street. Very neat installation, took a while staring at it while we waited at the lights to figure it all out.
crowdriver last night on northbridge on the cargobike with bullhorn rear handlebars??? 'bout 8ish
Eva got spotted by Edinburgh Cycle Chic, wich is odd as shes wearing very cycle specific clothing... http://edinburghcyclechic.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/stripy-hat-and-socks
That was my instant thought. But the arbiter speaketh...
And i'm now partying like I'm Post 1999!
Who. Will. Be. Spotted 2k.

Nope, not me, sorry. Maybe this cargonista thing is catching on. (Thinks: hope someone hasn't broken into the lockup and nicked the Ute!)
By the way, I was 1000th too AND I NEVER GOT A PRIZE
Chapeau

It took all the initial spacing out as well, hence the speedlines :)
Three dingbats (two citizen, one fluoro) steaming along Shandwick Place on the narrow south pavement.
"Three dingbats (two citizen, one fluoro) steaming along Shandwick Place on the narrow south pavement."
Anti-social - especially if peds around - and illegal, but hardly surprising.
They'd probably just been to the 'tram update' session.
It's clear from Princes St. etc. that pedestrians, cyclists and busineses have not exactly been 'considered' in any sort of positive sense!
yes, and your thousandth spot wasn't an actual spot either! no prize from me Im afraid, both times I was looking for an actual fun spot to mark the occasion but no, a post grabber. :P
Chapeau of course to the board as a whole :)
Fellow sporting full set beard, holding a blue-ish single speed bike, waiting for someone off the Aberdeen train at Waverley, 6:30pm today. Uberuce?
