Travel by bicycle
A comprehensive network of on and off-road cycle routes has been established across Aberdeen City and Shire, and more projects are being completed all the time.
Cycling activity in Aberdeen is being monitored - the last snapshot count indicated around 600 cyclists on the move at 13 key locations during the morning rush hour - and, as new cycling routes go live, it is expected pedal power will become increasingly prominent.
In 2008/09 alone, projects were progressed to establish a cycle routes on the Kingswells to Aberdeen commuter route and on the city's Riverside Drive, as well as to create cycle networks in Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
The work to make the region a more cycle-friendly place is two-dimensional: to make cycling safer and more efficient for those who already use bicycles to get about, and also to make it more attractive to those for who are new to cycling.
Ongoing survey work is also undertaken to count cyclist numbers and the most popular cycling routes, so future investment can be better planned.
Many organisations are also investing in shelters and secure facilities at locations across the region to accommodate cycling personnel.
