Celebrating Bike Week and the Positive Impact of Cycling

That the Parliament notes that 6 to 14 June 2020 is Bike Week; recognises that this event is an annual celebration to showcase cycling and is co-ordinated by Cycling UK and in Scotland by Cycling Scotland; notes that, with the COVID-19 restrictions this year, Bike Week will include virtual events and will encourage people to enjoy cycling every day during the week; recognises that cycling is a physical activity that can improve physical and mental health and air quality; notes that, since the beginning of the COVID-19 restrictions, bike sales are booming and levels of cycling have increased significantly in Scotland in response to quieter roads and people cycling for their daily exercise, and recognises what it sees is the urgent need to provide safe cycling infrastructure across Scotland to support and encourage this trend and to secure the economic, environmental and health gains as a result of increased levels of cycling.
