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.
"two harsh winters don't make an ice age"
"if children have to have a couple of days off, they learn a lot about snowmen"
"increasingly people want someone to blame"

Avoid winter blunderland
POLICE are carrying out roadside checks on vehicles this weekend to help ensure motorists are prepared for winter driving.
Officers are also visiting shopping centres in the force area to offer road safety advice as part of the Get Ready for Winter weekend.
The campaign, which got under way yesterday and runs until Monday, will see officers carrying out checks to make sure vehicles are roadworthy for the winter months.

Couple of white-top traffic cops doing checks at the side of the road just on boundary between Edinburgh / Musselburgh.
"New-style shovels and snow ploughs have been issued to all staffed stations to help clear snow from platforms and walkways, and equipment used by roving station maintenance teams has been increased."
Not forgetting -
"Other measures to be considered include sending shovels and even mini-tractors to local communities to let them help them clear snow in their area themselves."
