With lockdown easing and more people needing to use transport again, the Scottish government has allowed the free use of bike-share services for a limited amount of time. The scheme aims to encourage a greener approach to travel in the hopes of making cycling a habit for citydwellers.

Women are interested in cycling, but they often don’t cycle on their commutes because they’re worried about safety issues. At a time when people are demanding better gender equality, brands can get women onboard by redesigning and rethinking transport options – like cycle lanes – with everyone in mind.
