    Specifically, "Achievements in Cycling
    Cycling Scotland – freshnlo Pedal for Scotland"

    So a 'fun' ride sponsored by a huge dairy firm is Scotland's "achievement" in cycling over the past year? Must try harder, Scotland!

    Mind you, Scotrail were public transport operator of the year, and Glasgow Airport were airport of the year. All a bit meaningless really.

  3. Don't Cycling Scotland win every year for Pedal for Scotland?

    Pah, PoP was a HUGE achievement. ;)

    Apparently, in 2011:

    "6. Best Cycling Improvements
    Winner – Glasgow City Council – Cycling in Glasgow"

    WHAT ???

    2010:

    "6. Cycling Improvements
    Winners- South Ayrshire Council - Route Development 2002-2010"

    South Ayrshire, Scotland's cycling Mecca!

    2009:

    "Cycling Improvements Award
    Fife Council"

    Hmmm...

    That's cycling sorted, then.

    We can move on to world peace now.

    Newsflash - Scottish Government civil servant casts vote for Scottish Government-backed award scheme to give first prize to Scottish Government-backed organisation.

    Now that Cycling Scotland have achieved so much positive press for the milk industry for cycling in Scotland I look forward to making full use of all the facilities that their relentless campaigning for more and better funding for cycling are going to pay for.

    Maybe we could mirror the huge success of Boris's blue Barclays bikes and bike lanes and have lovely black and white cow-print Wiseman Lanes?
