Bike fans will be celebrating life on two wheels in Aberdeen as part of a festival of cycling,
A bike roadshow at Duthie Park from 10am until 3pm today will kick off events with a second roadshow at Sunnybank Community Centre next Saturday from 12pm until 4pm.
Several schools in the city are also hosting their own events as part of Bike Week 2015.
The event comes amid a 10% rise in the number of cyclists in Aberdeen over the last year.
Councillor Ross Grant, who represents the Tillydrone, Seaton and Old Aberdeen ward, welcomed this development.
The cycling enthusiast said: “It’s easy to cycle around Aberdeen and everyone knows about the huge health benefits it brings.
“Aberdeen City Council is creating more cycle paths to help make cycling safer as we want to see more people get on their bike for everyday use for work and leisure, not just for sport.
“A lot of the parks and green areas in the city are a short bike ride for most people, and we also have about 40 cycle stands in the city centre alone for people to use when securing their bikes.
“It’s great there has been an increase of people using bikes around the city and we would encourage more people to try cycling around – it’s fun, environmentally-friendly, helps reduce the number of cars on our roads, and is an easy way of getting around.”
