Scottish Bicycle Users Group

Please note that the ScotBug community forum will close on 7 September 2019. Thank you to all our BUGs for participating over the years. Feedback from Cycling Friendly BUG users indicate that the majority of organisations now use internal platforms and social media to communicate. There are also many online information resources for sharing workplace cycling-related issues. We will continue to support BUGs across the country through the Cycling Friendly award programmes.
