Fantastic day in Dundee. Took the Ember bus with the bike. Supereasy and efficient. Handed over some Access Bikes to their delighted new owners at the Findmill Centre. Popped into Nicholson's Cycles before a late lunch Dundee Cycle Hub. Back on the Ember bus home #bestjobinthe🌍

Today is #WorldCarFreeDay. While we know it's not possible for everyone to give up driving completely, many of us could choose to cycle or walk more often. Cycling is a cheap, sustainable, healthy, fun way to get around - plus it frees up road space for those who need to drive.
