18. WHAT PEOPLE SAID “It's been really great to remind us of positive ways of doing things differently. Even the carshare banners all across the Black Isle remind me to think about carsharing more than I used to.” Sheila, Cromarty “It has been so uplifting to see many more children and adults cycling in my local community in recent months. My general impression is that the children who have regularly been cycling with the Bike Bus seem fitter and faster on the same route Also there are a number of the older children who were cycling with the Bike Bus who are now cycling to and from school themselves or with friends and many more older children cycling that route regularly too.” Shirley Kelly, Community Cycle Trainer, Avoch
