The Covid-19 pandemic has brought many new riders into our sport. In this podcast, representatives from NatureScot, Forestry and Land Scotland and mountain bike journalist, Aoife Glass, look at how we can keep them riding whilst educating them on responsible access, and also look at our cumulative impact on the environment.

Just what has been the Covid impact on our outdoors? How do we mitigate against any negative impacts to this growth in accessing the outdoors.
