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

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.
Can't find it on search, but wasn't there recently discussion of Gilmore Place/Home st as an accident black spot (worse than holy corner). Both Monday (5pmish) and today (9.15am) as I was heading from Tarvit St across to Gilmore place, as my light went green and traffic coming from Tollcross has run the red (and not a yellow about to go red, but a fully-changed red).
Suppose it is probably just a coincidence, but not a very nice one.
I see this all the time here. A similar phenomenon occurs when I attempt to cross the main Tollcross junction itself from Lauriston onto Leven St - the traffic from Lothian Road heading south to Brougham quite often just keeps on going even though I've got the green.
The first time this happened, I nearly came a cropper as I set off naively assuming there'd be no traffic crossing my path. I've been wary ever since!
