The HI-BIKE Inclusive Cycling Membership scheme, run by the Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS) and funded by Transport Scotland’s People and Place Programme, was shortlisted in the excellence in transport accessibility category of the Scottish Transport Awards.

It was one of nine finalists in the category which recognised projects or initiatives demonstrating improved access to travel or the travel experience for disabled people.

Launched as a pilot in 2024, the scheme enables people living in Fort William or Inverness to receive a non-standard or adapted bike to keep at home and use exclusively for up to a year.

To date, the scheme has 15 members who for £25 per month can access a wide variety of cycles, including electric trikes and handcycles in multiple models.

Each cycle is adapted to suit the individual needs of the member to ensure safe and comfortable use.

Suitable candidates are referred by one of the scheme’s partners - Shopmobility Inverness, Lochaber Environmental Group or Spinal Injuries Scotland.
