Power of the Bike series
From local clubs to Olympic gold medallists, discover the amazing and inspirational stories of cyclists of all levels from all across Scotland.
It all starts with a pedal stroke
The power of the bike means different things to everyone, each of us with our own connection to the humble bicycle, with reasons for starting our cycling journey as unique as the roads we ride on.
In this series, we’ll celebrate all things weird and wonderful on two, three and four wheels from across the country. First timers to hardy pros, each story is different. But, throughout each there’s one constant - the power of the bike.
