Background
Cycling Killearn was born from a shared passion for cycling, our community and the environment.
​
Our initial priority was to understand residents' interests in cycling and any perceived barriers.
In 2022, a group of students from Strathclyde University selected to undertake a research and consultation project as part of their masters in Social Entrepreneurship.
We received 168 responses to our survey and 31 local residents attended facilitated consultation sessions.
