When liberated from boneshakers and penny-farthings, cyclists emerged as style-conscious but showed a reluctance to engage with transport policy-makers and so went on to be marginalised by motorists. When a revival came about in modern times, it has put health and fitness above cycling as a mode of transport.</p> <p><a href="http://www.railwayoperators.co.uk/whats-on/title/the-history-of-cycling-in-scotland-by-dr-nicholas-oddy" rel="nofollow">http://www.railwayoperators.co.uk/whats-on/title/the-history-of-cycling-in-scotland-by-dr-nicholas-oddy</a> </p>
