Good practice

There are many examples of excellent work carried out in Scotland to promote cycle use.  Organisations throught the country are working hard to build new routes, build cyclists’ confidence through training, and build on the increasing demand for cycling.

Just some of this good practice was presented to delegates during the National Assessment workshops during May.  The speakers and content are listed below and further information is provided in the workshop presentations.
