Cycle Nation Communities: Increasing Cycling in Glasgow

Sponsor: University of Glasgow

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomised controlled trial will evaluate the effects of a 9-week multi-component group-based cycling programme (Cycle Nation) versus a standard single cycle training session on self-reported cycling, health and wellbeing outcomes. Participants are adults that do not regularly cycle, who will be randomly allocated to each arm of the study. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-programme, and at 12 months from baseline. Cost effectiveness will be assessed, and a process evaluation will be conducted.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cycle Nation

Participants will be asked to attend nine weekly 90-minute face-to-face sessions, delivered by trained facilitators at community cycling organisations. Sessions include off road cycling skills and on-road group rides, behaviour change techniques (e.g. goal setting), and bicycle maintenance training. Two extra group rides will be offered during the programme for additional practice, along with two catch-up sessions at the end for those who missed any content. Participants will be added to a WhatsApp group to encourage peer communication. Bicycles, helmets, and locks will be loaned to participants for 10-12 weeks to support participation.

BEHAVIORAL

Cycling Scotland standard cycling session

Participants will be asked to participate in Cycling Scotland's 'Introduction to On-Road Cycling' a single 2-2.5-hour session that is offered as standard. The session covers key cycling skills such as hazard awareness, road positioning, and communicating with other road users. Activities are tailored to participants' needs and may include navigating junctions, using shared infrastructure, and performing U-turns. Bicycles and helmets will be provided for the session.
