Art for Deeside Way

The Aberdeen Cycle Forum applied for funding from Sustrans through their ArtRoots fund to commission art work for Deeside Way. Our application was successful and after many months of searching for an artist and getting everyone to agree on a design the work was completed this week and it’s terrific.

The design and painting was done by KMG. It features two leopard cyclists as a nod to Aberdeen’s mascot along with a wheelchair fox, a sausage dog pedestrian and dog and a gull and blackbird.

We’re really thrilled with how it has turned out and we hope it will encourage people to be more physically active whether it be through cycling, running, walking, wheeling, rollerblading, or scootering. You can find it on the south wall that forms part of the road bridge for Great Southern Road which is near the Duthie Park end of Deeside Way.
