Pedal for Scotland is Scotland’s largest cycling event of the year – a mass participation bike ride for around 10,000 people who will be cycling from Glasgow Green to Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on a 55 mile route that raises substantial funds for charity.
Each and every year we aim to make the experience not only more enjoyable for those taking part, but also a safer one for everyone in and around the route on the day. Working closely with both Police Scotland and all the local authorities along the route, we arrange for a number of specific traffic management provisions.
Nearer to the event day we will provide traffic management plans in areas along the 55-mile Classic Challenge route corresponding to local authority areas that the ride passes through
