Steve, new cyclist
When the e-bike scheme was introduced at Fife College, I thought I could try cycling to work.
My commute is around 2 miles, and driving has always seemed the most convenient option. This was before I realised how beneficial the e-bike is!
My fuel bill has reduced significantly, it is almost as fast as driving, and I get some fresh air and exercise in the morning.
I wish there were more cycle lanes and secure cycle parking in Dunfermline. I believe it would help people switch from driving to cycling more easily
