The document discusses mapping cycling routes and infrastructure in Scotland using OpenStreetMap. It notes that Scotland has mapped 1,650 km of cycleways compared to 5,711 km in Denmark and 29,954 km in the Netherlands. It encourages mapping more routes and facilities like sensory gardens to advocate for better cycling provision and accessibility. The author hopes to automate cycle data analysis and collaborate more with local communities.

Future plans
● Automate cycle mapping data
● Number or Percentage of user editing bicycle
features
● Comparative cyclepath length / by population etc
● Local heatmap of features by local / national
constituencies

Future plans
● More mapping parties
● More cycle mapping with Cycling Scotland
● More collaboration
● 'OpenTown Festival' – pick a town to showcase
use of open data to local community
