Locals in Kirkcaldy are being invited visit the Lang Toun Cycles Bike Library where they can borrow an e-bike for free for up to a month.

Rising fuel prices and the growing costs associated with owning a car, mean that e-bikes are becoming an increasingly popular alternative mode of transport for commuting and travelling in the area.

David Glover, cycle workshop and retail co-ordinator at Lang Toun Cycles in Kirkcaldy, said as well as being better for your pocket, cycling is also better for your health and the environment and e-bikes are making it much easier for people of all abilities to get started.
