"We live in a rural area and see cycling as a great way for our pupils to travel independently." Teachers and pupils at Springholm Primary in Dumfries and Galloway share the impact of #BikeabilityScotland cycle training: buff.ly/RXyrR80

Working mum and teaching assistant Hannah, has seen her mornings transformed by having access to a bike - saving time and money along the way. “My son loves the journeys to work: when he sees his helmet he goes ‘bike!’. He loves looking at his surroundings on the way, ringing the bell as we go.”

Drivers from Houston's Coaches took part in road safety training last week, designed to give drivers of large vehicles the chance to step into the shoes of more vulnerable road users, including people on bikes.

"It makes us feel good about ourselves." 🚲 #BikeabilityScotland is giving young people across the country the skills and confidence to cycle safely on the road - supporting happier, healthier and more active lives.

👏🚲 "I save loads, and although I don’t cycle every day, it’s still saving me £40-£50 a month on fuel. I’ve discovered that cycling is so much cheaper than driving. When I’ve cycled to work it makes me want to be more active during the day." - social worker Laura, on the benefits of cycling to work
