"no one will care about the name"
Dunno about that. Some Glaswegians are very particular about anything that hails from east of the Falkirk Wheel...

"there should be money in the pot to spend if people ask for it with the 5% of transport budget thing."
Are Glasgow City Council doing that too? I thought it was just Edinburgh?

@crowriver. Ah. I'd assumed that was a Scotland wide thing. Boo, hiss, etc.

"@crowriver. Ah. I'd assumed that was a Scotland wide thing"
Sort of -
"We’re convinced that financial investment and infrastructural change are essential and with that in mind, our manifesto asks for 5% of the transport budget be allocated to cycling-related investment – surely 5% is not too much to ask for the cost of 10% of journeys? "

5% for 10%. 5 for 10.
September.
Scotland wide.
Start planning!:-)

Hmmmm... CCE dropping the E (perhaps in favour of an S??
I have these two round things on my bike. They're great appart from the odd puncture and rims wearing out every year or two. But I can't help thinking there is some thing lacking... Is anyone a comptent designer. I could do with someting invented as a better replacement. A bit like re inventing the wheel¿¿¿

Whatever happens, can I suggest you dont brand anything CCS?
This has certain resonance with a particular brand of (Leith based) football hooligan from the 1980s and would appear in google searches by those who may glorify that sort of thing.Back OT - I like the local feel of CCE, have been in large forums before, and they are just not as friendly as this. I like that we can have PY fridays regularly.
I cant see why a CCG wouldnt be a success though - perhaps Magnatom should spearhead it.

City Cycling Ecosse?
Wait...

Wait indeed. That would be Cyclisme des Villes Ecossais.
Decent webforumthings, like interesting conversations, usually just happen by themselves, rather than being planned.Posted 11 years ago # -
Incidentally (and just so it's clear I wasn't intending on treading on toes) my suggestion was more along the lines of chdot's link further up the thread. CCE remaining as is, where people could access directly or through a CCS portal with links to other city fora and bicycle related links for Scotland.
If I was a management-speak-type I may through something in here about facilitating the cross-polination of ideas. But I'm not.

Capital City Service? Sounds like a garage or a cleaning company.

ah ccs ...... bringing back terrifying memories of Edinburgh in the mid 80's! YLT , McCabe grass and beast. Denim and who could forget Marilyn Clark 36 fae the jewel hus A**s.....

"McCabe grass"
Ah yes, a very frequently seen bit of graffiti.
I have photos (pre-digital, will be in a box somewhere!)
Now such things would be more likely be part of an eca degree show project!
Of course Edinburgh gangs were always a bit tame - compared with Glasgow.
No idea if there was any crossover between neighbourhood gangs and football casuals.

B.A.C.K. S.H.I.E.L.D
or was that 90s? I haven't seen one in ages. Last I remember was around about 2006 on scaffolding at top end of Montpelier Park.

There was a chalked S.H.I.E.L.D. on one of the Caledonian Hotel's ridges until at least 2007 and a few stickers on lamp-posts appearing until at least 2008.

B.A.C.K. S.H.I.E.L.D.... I know who does that one......... I have a S.H.I.E.L.D card.... I can't say any more or I'll be wiped!!!
