Motorcycling
One person on a bike has a much smaller carbon footprint than the same person in a car! Motorcycling is both a popular leisure activity and, for some people, the main means of getting around.
With a comparatively small carbon footprint, motorcycling is a more sustainable mode of transport than motoring. However, motorcycling inevitably raises concerns about safety and this must be properly taken into account.
For people interested in motorbikes, it is essential to have the proper training and a good level of safety knowledge.
Once the rider is aware and properly trained though, motorcycling becomes an effective and enjoyable means of travel and it offers a unique and interesting perspective on Shetland's landscape.
