Connecting people working in everyday cycling and active travel
The Cycling Scotland Conference brings together organisations that support more people to cycle for everyday journeys in Scotland, to help us share learning and recognise progress.
In 2024, more than 250 delegates, speakers and exhibitors came together to connect with other experts in everyday cycling, hear from inspiring speakers and be part of breakout sessions including walking tours of Glasgow's new infrastructure.
We're currently planning the 2025 conference and will provide an update soon.

Conference 2024
Our national annual Cycling Scotland Conference was held in Glasgow in October 2024.
Since we last held the Cycling Scotland Conference in Glasgow in 2017, the city has undertaken an ambitious programme to support active travel as the first choice for everyday journeys. From the Avenues Programme to the South City Way, Connecting Woodside to the North East Active Travel Routes, new protected cycle lanes and projects across the city are making it easier and safer for more people to cycle in Glasgow.
Our 2024 keynote speakers were:
- Deborah Paton, Head of Transport Planning and Delivery at Glasgow City Council
- Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop MSP
- Kate Cairns, road safety speaker, trainer and CLOCS Ambassador
- Adrien Sartre, Political Advisor to the Deputy Mayor of Paris
- Cross-party panel on the priorities for everyday cycling: Sarah Boyack MSP, Councillor Sanne Dijkstra-Downie, Councillor Angus Millar, Mark Ruskell MSP, Graham Simpson MSP
