Cycling is up 4⃣7⃣% in Scotland in the year since the first lockdown – brilliant news
Temporary infrastructure across Scotland has helped more many people to cycle safely, especially new & inexperienced riders

Cycling is amazing. And it should be for everyone.

"I haven't seen a smile on the boy's face for such a while, I could cry".
