Welcome to Cycling Scotland

Cycling Scotland works to bring cycling out from the fringes of everyday life and into the mainstream. We aim to integrate cycling into modern living as a sustainable mode of transport, a means of exercise, and a strong contributor to the Scottish tourist economy.

We achieve this through promoting public participation in cycling events, giving training to ensure people can cycle with confidence, and providing engineering services to ensure that cyclists are catered for on Scotland's roads and paths.

Cycling Action Plan for Scotland

The Cycling Action Plan for Scotland (CAPS) will be developed over the coming year, with the goal of getting more people to cycle more often. The Plan will seek to draw together the efforts of all agencies delivering cycling in Scotland, to form a more effective and unified force for change.

Community Cycling Fund

Cycling Scotland has launched its new Community Cycling Innovation Fund. The fund will help communities set up and evolve projects to improve life in their local area.

The aim of the community cycling innovation fund is to increase the wellbeing of communities across Scotland, enabling more people to have more opportunities to cycle and use cycles to achieve local outcomes. Cycling Scotland’s immediate aim is to provide grants for a small number of schemes that demonstrate innovative ways of using cycling and will serve as examples of good practice that can be followed by future projects and can be shared across the whole sector.
