Nominate your Instructor of the Year

After another record breaking year last year, throughout the 2024-25 academic session and right across Scotland, our instructors and coordinators have been more committed than ever, in ensuring children can benefit from the essential life skills developed through Bikeability Scotland.

Nominations for the 'Instructor of the Year' award are invited from the whole Bikeability Scotland community. To tell us about an instructor who went the extra mile for their trainees this year, please submit your entry by clicking on the link below.

2025 Bikeability Scotland Awards

If you're looking for inspiration as to what makes for an 'Instructor of the Year', why not learn more about last year's winner, Angie Murchison, among others in our Bikeability Scotland stories series.

Nominations close 13 June 2025 and there is no limit to the number of people you can put forward, so let us know who has been amazing this year.

To provide the opportunity to reflect on the distinctive achievements of both groups and individuals, Cycling Scotland will also convene a panel to select winners to receive:

  • The Keith Fergus Bikeability Scotland Annual Achievement Award - This award recognises outstanding achievement in the delivery of Bikeability Scotland.
  • Bikeability Scotland School of the Year - Recognising a school that, through dedication and commitment to cycle training, had a unique or exceptional Bikeability Scotland journey in 2024-25.

Scotrail have updated their website with more information about how to travel with a bike.

You’ll find designated cycle spaces on all of our trains. The majority of services operate non reservable cycle spaces on a first come first served basis, so you should bear this in mind when travelling at peak times.

The following routes however, do operate compulsory reservations for cycle spaces and you must reserve a cycle space before attempting to travel. As these routes are long distance, they are often very busy and it may therefore not be possible to accommodate your cycle if you have not reserved a space.
