Scottish Cycling, legally the Scottish Cyclists' Union (SCU), is the governing body for cycle sport in Scotland and is part of British Cycling, the national governing body in Britain.[1]
Scottish Cycling is currently located in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Glasgow.[2] It covers road bicycle racing, track cycling, mountain bike racing, cyclo-cross, BMX racing, cycle speedway and time trialing.
Scottish Cycling introduced the MBLA award scheme (previously Scottish Mountain Bike Leader Award), qualification in the UK for leading organised groups on mountain biking rides. This award is now simply called the Mountain Bike Leader Award.[3]
Scottish Cycling has a performance department to help train and develop Scottish athletes. It also enters Scottish teams for events such as the Commonwealth Games, UCI Europe Tour events and UCI Mountain Bike events.
