The charity is sponsored by the Climate Change Fund and the Scottish Government to promote cycling within the Cumbernauld area.

A new project called Cycle to the Moon has now been set up in conjunction with North Lanarkshire Roads and Transport and the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

The project which will begin in the spring will seek and develop cycle routes throughout Cumbernauld. New signposts will be erected as part of the project. Through cycling the project will aim to enhance health and wellbeing and will also look at other areas such as climate change.
