There are 2 cars, first one moving at 30mph and other at 20. 🚗 🚙  They both brake. The first car will still be moving at 24mph when the other has stopped. At 20mph it’s safer for everyone. Let’s look out for each other. #ReadyFor20mph

These 2 bikes appear to have been dumped in Leith and are being handed in to the Police. Are they yours? Register your bikes at ow.ly/lP7x50DO6ms and make it easier to get your bikes returned if stolen. #Beatthethieves #Stolenbike #Veloeye

To paraphrase Enrique Peñalosa: A plowed and salted cycle track is a symbol that a child on a $30 bicycle is equally important as an adult inside a $30,000 car.

Have you been out riding in the snow? We'd love to see your winter cycling photos if you've been able to enjoy a snowy scene like this one. Thanks to our very own Jeff Frew for this stunning view near his home in Lesmahagow, #Lanarkshire.

2015: 4 staff and budget of £200 000 2020: 34 staff and £2.5m 👍 Cycling UK in Scotland has come a long way thanks to head of development Suzanne Forup and her team. Suzanne takes a look back and considers why "being human" is what makes a good leader. bit.ly/3kxcKvc
