The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Cycle Station, a not-for-profit community enterprise based in Newmilns, on successfully securing a £2,000 grant as part of Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival campaign; understands that the grant is intended to enable independent bike shops, recycling centres and mechanics across Scotland to provide free hire bikes, free bike safety checks and minor repairs for key workers who have their own bike; notes that Cycle Station has now provided nine brand new bikes, including one e-bike, to local key workers, free of charge until August 2020, and assisted many others with servicing and repairs; commends Cycle Station and its sister project, Biosphere Bikes, which is based in Girvan, for their participation in this scheme and their wider efforts to promote cycling and provide affordable access to bikes for everyone, and wishes the enterprise and all involved continued success.
