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.

Cycling
The following acts are
prohibited:
7.1 Cycling in a manner which falls
short of the responsibilties in the
Code.
7.2 Cycling off the paths in woodland
and other areas sensitive to
environmental damage.
Hmm. Given that many non-cyclists (especially dog walkers) seem to find cyclists annoying, offensive, alarming or distressing then we may as well not bother cycling in parks!
On the other hand look at all the rules for dog owners: good luck enforcing them!

By "code" I think it means the Outdoor Access Code.
"other areas sensitive to environmental damage."
This is a wonderfully vague phrase.
The whole planet except perhaps the sahara desert?
The apparent prohibition of commercial photography 'without limitation' alarms me, and doesn't seem consistent with communications I've had from CEC. Hopefully they mean people doing wedding shoots, etc, without prior permission, and not a blanket ban.
Sorry... a bit o/t...
Odd isn't it. I could take a photo of a bird in the parks and then sell it. Except it would appear I couldn't sell that photo. Difficult to police?
IMK, it says you need to ask permission first, its not prohibited.
Nothing in the document thats alarming, TBH - all pretty sensible.
e.g. There are plenty who dont bother about the BBQ spots in the meadows, with a consequent scorching of the grass.
