Ruairidh Alastair is back with more questions about issues that affect the lives of young people, and he is seeking answers by talking with experts, listening to our panellists and researching using his mobile phone and his wits.

In this episode, he dons a hi-vis jacket as he asks if cycling in the city is something we are prepared for and prepared to do? With climate change high on the agenda, should we be doing more to accommodate cyclists? Are some motorists right to be annoyed by the badly behaved on bikes? Ruairidh Alastair meets a transport manager who trains lorry drivers on how to be safer around cyclists. He finds out about the history of the bike and the long-standing animosity between two wheels and four. Cyclists get the chance to give their view. And he puts Scotland’s largest council on the spot about its plans to improve cycle routes throughout the city.
