Another First?
First Six Pilot Projects Selected to Offer Free Bicycles for School Age Children.
As part of a series of commitments delivered by the Scottish Government within its first 100 days, the new pilots will test their approaches across the next 12 months and will be fully evaluated. They will test delivery models in urban and rural locations, across primary and secondary schools ages and trial various procurement models. The pilots seek to include local bike shops and will explore opportunities to maximise benefits for the local supply chain, including recycling bikes and encouraging a circular economy approach.
The pilots will test a variety of ownership, loan and subscription models and undertake various methods of assessing need to ensure inclusion and accessibility. Pilots are linked to existing community networks across schools, charities, cycling clubs and active travel hubs – all helping to determine what the best models of local delivery could look like.

They certainly need to do something in Scotland to improve the general health

Why is it so bad there when they have all that beautiful open space and countryside ?
You would expect the population to be far healthier in such a setting

Not sure any Scot invented the bike....unless Karl von Drais was born in Glasgowberg.
It is he, a German inventor who is credited with developing the first bicycle. His machine, known as the "swiftwalker," hit the road in 1817. This early bicycle had no pedals, and its frame was a wooden beam. The device had two wooden wheels with iron rims and leather-covered tires. Having said this, the invention could well have been Scottish, a boneshaker, no accessories like pedals etc, thereby keeping the costs down.
