Would-be cyclists in Renfrewshire are being put off from using bikes because of a lack of places to park them, according to the findings of a new report.
The study by Cycling Scotland says that because of the large number of flatted residences in the area, many people are deterred from getting on two wheels because of a lack of storage space, leading to fears their bike might be stolen if stored outside or in tenement closes.
The report says that there are 37,600 flats in the local authority area, making up 43 per cent of the entire housing stock.
