Cycling Scotland will be trialling a new delivery model for Pedal for Scotland in 2020, focussing on smaller scale, community focused events in towns and cities across the country. There have been no discussions between Transport Scotland and commercial partners regarding a replacement funding stream for Pedal for Scotland.
