Bass Not Bass - I'm in the Central Belt. Not the most scenic, althought my commute takes in some of the river Forth which can be very nice. There is loads of amazing cycling in Scotland though. It helps if you like hills obviously! The Scottish govt is slowly waking up and putting money into new scenic routes. Glen Ogle is my top fave cycle trail, but its more for a mountain bike.
(Embra)ce the wire basket. Nobody ever even wants to steal them, the cheap ones are light. And it's a grand two finger salute when you overtake a racer.
Could give BNB a couple of tips for the Borders but I'm too junior to PM...
