Free cycle training, bike maintenance and rides

 

Thanks to the Local Sustainable Transport Fund, Bike Right are offering free cycle training and bike maintenance to anyone who lives, works or studies on Merseyside. 

Businesses interested in promoting sustainable travel to their employees can get in touch to arrange small-group courses, at a time and venue convenient for you.   Visit www.bikeright.co.uk  and look for 'Freewheeling'- or call 0161 230 7007.  (One to one sessions are also available for children.)

Free, organised bike rides are also available with the Pedal Away project.  The project is based in Halewood Country Park but rides take place across the Borough of Knowsley throughout the year, Pedal Away caters for cyclists of all ages, including beginners. 

There's also a range of specially adapted cycles, ensuring that rides are accessible to all.  Visit  the Cycling Projects website www.cycling.org.uk/pa or call Kevin McCann on 0151 443 2148/07971476520 for more information.
