Encourage walking and cycling: Stirling Active Travel Hub

Stirling’s Active Travel Hub is in the town centre, right at the railway station and bus stops – a handy central location where you can get your bike checked, learn how to fix a puncture, plan a route, try an ebike, borrow a cargo bike and much more.

The hub has an equally prominent online presence with news about the local bike hire scheme, events calendar and lots of information about other initiatives like their Employer Engagement programme.

Stirling has become a bit of a bike town, with a number of town centre bike shops and cycling clubs, Forth eBike Hire with bike hire stations from Stirling to Falkirk, and Recyke-a-Bike for recycling pre-loved bikes and learning how to do bike maintenance.

There are similar town centre Active Travel Hubs in Ayr, Falkirk, Kilmarnock and elsewhere, all working to get more people walking and cycling for local journeys. The network was established by Transport Scotland.
