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.

That's a brilliant advert for the back of a bus 'If all those cyclists gave up riding tomorrow, they would fill 36 No 22s' (or whatever).
"That's a brilliant advert for the back of a bus 'If all those cyclists gave up riding tomorrow, they would"
not (all) be on this bus but would lengthen the queues of cars...
2240km traffic jam if all cyclists took to "average" sized cars... yowza...
The World Cup is also proving to be a good advert for why everyone travelling by car doesn't work very well (reports of 8 hour queues, etc.)
"reports of 8 hour queues, etc."
any goalkeepers stuck in traffic?
well, the south africa problem quite particular to settler society. most people there do use public transport - mostly minibuses - but the road systems designed on assumption of only a minority being able to afford to drive, and at the height of the glorification of the motor-car.
have just been editing paper about how school kids in cape town get to school - where many are going to 'former white' schools to try and get better education. despite the distances, almost none cycle. that's (one reason) why I said jacob zuma on previous thread for public figure i'd like to see on a bike.
So come on! What are the stats for Edinburgh? How many journeys are undertaken by bike in Edinburgh in a given day?
