Cycling

Cycling and Mountain Biking are popular sports with holidaymakers in Scotland. They attract a variety of people with different levels of skills and abilities.

VisitScotland wanted to find out more about UK tourists who cycle on their holiday, and commissioned a cycling and mountain biking research project in 2005 to learn more about their characteristics and attitudes, and how they rate Scotland.
