Scotland has seen a huge increase in the number of people cycling during lockdown.
It’s been a great chance for many to start cycling more, by getting the old bike out or trying out Glasgow’s ever-growing pool of hire bikes. Cycling provides a quick, healthy and safe way of getting to work while public transport capacity is reduced to accommodate social distancing.
If you’re in need of a bike, or thinking of an upgrade to improve your commuting experience then the Cycle to Work scheme might be the perfect purchase option for you.
