Would you pick pedal power over petrol?

How easy is it to stop using the car in rural Scotland?

This is what six families living in Aberdeenshire have been finding out as part of a pilot project.

For a year, the volunteers have been given electric bikes - with the aim of challenging their travel behaviours.

Here are the experiences of three of those households, in three different locations, but with the one common challenge of picking pedal power over petrol.
