A new free magazine has been launched to tap into the cycling boom following the success of Sir Chris Hoy and Bradley Wiggins in the Olympics and Tour de France.
Scottish Cycling, which is published by the Herald & Times Group, owners of The Herald, will cover all aspects of cycling from mountain biking and road rides to easy paced family days out.
It will be available from major bike retailers, outdoor shops, leisure centres and schools throughout major cities including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Stirling.
The Sunday Herald will also insert a free copy into its northern edition, covering Perth, Dundee, Inverness, Aberdeen and the Islands.
It also comes in a free digital e-edition to mobile and tablet devices. It is aimed at the beginner to intermediate rider, but will occasionally cover more strenuous rides too.
Publisher Darren Bruce said: "Following Britain's recent successes at the Tour de France and the London Olympics, we anticipate that cycling in the UK will continue to go from strength to strength.
"The launch of Scottish Cycling now bridges a gap in the market that helps visualise Scotland's beautiful landscapes from two wheels, whilst encouraging everyone to become fit, active and healthier."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
