Join us for the launch of Bike Life Edinburgh 2019, the UK’s most comprehensive study of cycling in cities.

Bike Life gives cities the confidence and opportunity to talk about the benefits of cycling. Since 2015, it has informed policy decisions, justified investment and enabled cities to develop more ambitious strategies and action plans for cycling.

This is the third report for Edinburgh, highlighting attitudes to cycling from the people who live here, and what still needs to happen to make cycling an attractive and safe option for everyone.

Join us to hear from our speakers from Sustrans, City of Edinburgh Council and case studies featured in the report.

We will discuss the importance of investment in cycling in the city, and how we can work towards making cycling inclusive to everyone.
