A top cyclist has just created an epic new video showing why cycling one of Scotland's most famous road trips can be even more enjoyable than driving it.
Edinburgh-based Markus Stitz, 42, set out to show why cycling can be a healthier and greener alternative to enjoying road trips such as the North Coast 500 (NC500) by car.
Teaming up with the NC500 and Bikepacking Scotland, Markus, who became the first person to cycle around the world on a single-speed bike in 2016, has a huge Instagram following, regularly blogs about his cycling adventures and helped to create a new alternative route for cyclists.
