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.
Well done @greenroofer an elegant victory is yours.
I was hampered by an unglamorous changing in the street from casual clothing into my lycra warrior outfit to go through Roseburn and then by the need to wring out my cycle clothing & sh*w*r when I got to work.
Daily showering is expensive, polluting and unnecessary (and can even be bad for you)

And a more recent article:
our skin, much like our gut, plays host to millions of beneficial bacteria. Showering destroys these happy bacterial colonies; they’re completely wiped out by all of our frequent rubbing and scrubbing. And when the bacteria washed off by soap repopulate, they tend to favour microbes which produce an odor – yes, too-frequent showering may actually make you smell more.
"You know that feeling after a shower when you feel like you’re stuck in a skin suit two sizes too small?"
Can't say I have, but maybe because:
"The average shower lasts seven minutes and uses 65 litres of water."
...mine use much less water than the mean. There must be lots of people out there with industrial-strength showers to offset all of us with puny single-digit-kilowatt electric showers.
