Cycling is clearly low on air pollution and a great way to get around – even ‘hilly’ Edinburgh.
Cycling is increasing each year, but is still a long way from reaching ‘continental’ levels. The weather is similar to Copenhagen. There are hills in Edinburgh but many journeys are east to west which can be fairly flat (the Union Canal is the extreme case!)
Even north – south journeys are fine with a bike with suitably low gears (most bikes these days) and some basic fitness.
This will improve the more you cycle!
