That the Parliament congratulates the south of Scotland on being nominated for top global cycling award, having been shortlisted for the inaugural UCI Cycling for All and Sustainability Awards in the UCI Bike City Category, alongside Copenhagen in Denmark and Wollongong in Australia; notes that the submission for the award, entitled Unlocking the Power of the Bike, was made by the South of Scotland Cycling Partnership, which is made up of a series of local and national organisations representing thousands of people across the region; further notes that this shortlisting follows the south of Scotland becoming the first region in Scotland to achieve the UCI Bike Region Label in 2023, which recognises the commitment to both elite cycling competition and cycling for all; understands that the cycling facilities in the south of Scotland are set to improve further, with plans to create a Mountain Bike Innovation Centre in Innerleithen; considers that this demonstrates the investment and efforts that have gone into making the south of Scotland a world-class cycling destination, which is now being recognised on a global stage, and wishes all involved the best of luck at the finals on 18 and 19 December 2024.
