Walking and Cycling
Walking and cycling (and scooting!) are some of the most affordable, healthy and environmentally-friendly ways of travelling. In addition to walking and cycling for leisure, many people are increasingly building active travel into their daily routine.

Walking is an important part of many journeys, even those made by car and public transport. Cycling is also an increasingly important mode of travel in West Lothian, for leisure and functional purposes. Many of our nursery and primary school children also scoot on a regular basis.
Whether for commuting, leisure or sport, walking, cycling and scooting are efficient and enjoyable ways to travel from A to B quickly and cheaply, and get the recommended 30 minutes of daily activity at the same time. They are also suitable for all ages and abilities.
