🚲📈 Find out more about the continuing, substantial impact of new cycling infrastructure in Scotland - and how it's helping more people to cycle for everyday journeys - by exploring our latest all-mode traffic survey findings here: cycling.scot/news/may-202...
Photo of people cycling on Edinburgh's City Centre West to East Link (CCWEL) cycling route. People can be seen travelling by bike in a dedicated bidirectional lane, protected from passing vehicle traffic visible in the background. A line graph published by Cycling Scotland, showing hour by hour cycle counts at Clyde Street in Glasgow over a 48 hour survey period. Peaks of around 200 bikes an hour can be seen at morning and evening commuting times, indicating that people are using the new protected cycle lanes at this and similar locations to make everyday journeys, such as travelling to and from work. A map published by Cycling Scotland, showing locations of 48 hour traffic surveys, conducted in May 2025. Pink circles indicate the percentage of journeys which were made by bike at these locations over the survey period, with larger circles indicating a higher cycling modal share. Leith Walk - where dedicated cycle lanes connect Leith to Edinburgh city centre - saw the highest cycling modal share of locations in the city in May 2025, with 9% of all journeys here being made by bike.

"A lot of roads in the area are filled with large vehicles, lorries and traffic, so it makes a massive difference to be able to take the cycle route and feel a lot safer and protected. The route's also much quicker than any other way of getting to work." - Robin, travelling to work by bike. 🚲
Robin, a commuter cycling to work early one winter morning on Glasgow's Victoria Road. Robin is pictured with her bike on one of the street's new protected cycle lanes, part of the 'South City Way' cycling route which runs for 3km, connecting communities in the south of the city to the city centre. A person can be seen passing Robin on a bike, with tenements and shops visible in the background.

On the impact of new cycling infrastructure in the area:

"Seeing all the people cycling on the cycle lane is amazing. And I feel so much safer where I know that area is for people on bikes and there are no cars."
