That the Parliament congratulates Recyke-a-bike on its 20th anniversary; understands that the project has a central aim of working to relieve poverty within its local community and improve health, education and the environment through cycling; recognises what it sees as the positive impact its key projects, including ‘bikebility’ sessions at local schools and delivering bike mechanic courses, have had in these local communities; commends its efforts to help more people choose cycling for low carbon transport, which includes providing the opportunity for people to hire bikes for free for up to 25 days, and giving away around 250 bikes in the last year to families in areas of high deprivation and New Scots, and wishes Recyke-a-bike every success as it continues to provide this important work.
