City of Edinburgh Council
Walking and cycling are healthy and sustainable ways to travel around the city. Some local residents tell us about how they get around town:
“It’s faster and cheaper for me to take the bike, and I get regular exercise. Cycling also lets you take in your surroundings more and stop off at a shop or the bank on the way without having to worry about parking.”Julia , Edinburgh
“I walk because I can… Edinburgh is a spectacular city and walking is one of the best ways of appreciating it. It’s also a great opportunity to window shop, or research as I like to call it.”Jane , Edinburgh
