Becoming a leading cycling destination
In a press release from the South of Scotland Enterprise, the South of Scotland’s efforts to become one of the world’s leading cycling destinations has been recognised with a nomination for a global award.
The South of Scotland has been shortlisted for the inaugural UCI Cycling for All & Sustainability Awards in the UCI Bike City Category.
The submission – entitled Unlocking the Power of the Bike – follows the South of Scotland becoming the first region in Scotland to achieve the UCI Bike Region Label last year. The Label recognises the commitment to both elite cycling competition and cycling for all.
The South will go up against Copenhagen in Denmark, and Wollongong in Australia for the award, which will be announced by the UCI during the 2024 UCI Mobility & Bike City Forum taking place on 18 and 19 December in Abu Dhabi.
The submission was made by the South of Scotland Cycling Partnership, which is made up of a series of local and national organisations representing thousands of people across the region.
