South of Scotland named UCI Bike Region
A news release from the South of Scotland Cycling Partnership has announced that the South of Scotland has joined a prestigious list of world-leading cycling destinations after being awarded a UCI Bike Region Label.
The South is the first region in Scotland to be awarded the label by cycling’s world governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The label recognises a city or region’s commitment to both elite cycling competition and cycling for all.
The label – which is held by just 26 cities and regions across the globe, including the City of Glasgow – acknowledges locations that not only host major UCI events, but also invest in developing community cycling and related infrastructure and programmes.
