EVALUATION OF THE SCOTTISH CYCLE CHALLENGE INITIATIVE

The Scottish Cycle Challenge Initiative was launched in 1997 by the Scottish Executive, inviting bids from local authorities and other organisations for initiatives to increase and benefit the level of cycling in Scotland. The Initiative generated local increases in cycling, tested new approaches to encourage cycling, levered expenditure on cycling investment, raised awareness of cycling as a mode of transport, integrated cycling with road safety policies and was generally good value for money. All groups in society benefited, with significant increases in leisure cycling, and safety benefits for utility cycling. Cycle training and cycle clubs were important for inexperienced cyclists. Publicity was important to target non-cyclists and maps were useful for beginner cyclists. All projects contributed positively to other government policies.
