Putting bikes in the frame

STEWART Stevenson MSP got to grips with his bike at Holyrood yesterday, to help promote Bike Week.

The transport minister and Green MSP Patrick Harvie left their cars at home and cycled to work yesterday to meet the "Bike Doctor" and ensure they are ready for a summer of cycling.

Bike Week is being hailed as the largest mass cycling participation event in the country. This year it is challenging families to get more out of life by swapping their four wheels for two to explore new places, save money and help save the planet by shrinking their carbon footprint.
