Thank you to Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 for being a champion for #cycling whilst Minister for Active Travel. During his tenure we have seen solid progress for cycling inc. significant boosts to funding and a much improved strategy.
We call on Fiona Hyslop to build on these foundations.
Well done to everyone who did #SafeStreetsNow rides and protests yesterday! I didn’t get it together to organise anything this time, but have been enjoying all the posts. Look at this!
Let’s have car-free routes like this through every town and city. Imagine!
Today Scottish Government announced plans to weaken climate laws, axing the 2030 emissions reduction target. While every Scottish Parliament party has a role to play Scottish Government cannot duck responsibility.
Our climate promises are broken - First Minister get Scotland’s climate commitments back on track.
Scottish Government must accelerate climate ambition after 2030 target scrapped.
Read quote from Sarah McMonagle urging action from Scottish Government to ensure that 'everyone can get around in a climate-friendly way by walking, cycling or using public transport.

Great new active travel link at Gourock opened.
Was good to be part of this ribbon cutting ceremony (can you spot me in the video) and then showing the Minister the Inverclyde Bothy at Gourock station run by Cycling UK in Scotland.
Thank you to Minister for Active Travel Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 for visiting us at our Inverclyde Bothy at Gourock Station.
He heard about the work we do enabling people to cycle and met volunteers who led a health walk this morning.
