Sustrans Report – Recent Funding
http://www.sustrans.org.uk/sustrans-near-you/scotland/scotland-news In 2010 an indicative spend by recreational and touring cyclists is estimated at
almost £100million. Using the World Health Organisation’s Health Economy Assessment Tool (HEAT) it
is estimated that in 2010 the Network contributed £60million in health benefits. Cost to benefit ratios based on STAG appraisal range from 1.4:1 to 12.7:1. LOCAL BENEFIT

At Cycling Scotland’s November 2007 conference delegates voted for a National Cycling Action Plan
In May 2008 Stewart Stevenson MSP announced the launch of the Cycling Action Plan for Scotland.
February 2009 the Minister announces that the vision for CAPS is that “By 2020 10% of all journeys taken in Scotland will be by bike”

Coherence
- Continuous- Link origins and
destinations- Legible signing- Consistent
colours

Directness
- Minimise delays
- Follow desire lines
- Give advantage
32
Directness
- Defined routes in areas can minimise conflict

SAFETY
Personal security- Lighting - Rural Aspects - Information (Recovery)
34
SAFETY
Traffic safety- Perceived - Actual
35
COMFORT
- No debris- No obstructions- Flush kerbs- Traffic and climate

Other Options Cycling by Design
Side Road Crossing – Bend Out
There are other options but due to it being adjacent to a trunk road this was preferred

Instead of us going on about the different users we would like to show you the following video. We think this shows the different users perspective and requirements.
Remember by 2025, disabled people will have the same opportunities and choices as non-disabled people on travel choices
