Retailer’s Cycling Friendly Funding

Cycling Scotland is offering grant funding for retailers to improve infrastructure and the environment. The fund aims to support more customers to use cycling as a mode of transport through improved facilities and infrastructure such as secure and covered bike parking for staff and customers, cycle training for staff and information and guidance on sustainable pedal-powered deliveries, as well as access to bikes.

Cycling Scotland’s research points to a 47% increase in cycling journeys across the country between March 2020 and March 2021. This means a growing number of retail customers and staff are shopping by bike. Additionally, their aim is to benefit staff through cycling as a positive benefit to health and well-being as well as providing support for a more sustainable mode of transport to commute to work.
