There are three market towns and over thirty tea shops within a half hour cycle of our local villages. And there's no better way to get to them than on your bike - it's good for your health, your wallet and the planet

Over the past year, we've mapped over a dozen easy rides around the area and bought some bikes and family cycling equipment you can borrow. All the details are here online so why not make 2008 your year of the bike - whether it's for work, leisure, pleasure or running errands. If you'd like us to help you then, give us a call, that's what we're here for.

This autumn we’d like to concentrate on helping families to get out and about together. If it’s been a while since you’ve cycled and you require advice on how to maintain your own bicycles or equipment, you need to fit a child’s helmet but don’t know how, or lack the confidence and cycling skills to take your family on the road, then we can provide individual workshops for you or your whole family together. Or if you’d like us to organise a guided ride, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. You can find out about any forthcoming family friendly guided rides here. We hope to see you out with us soon.

Wheely Good Communities
It's better by bike

We're a community project aspiring to make our local villages places where people feel confident to use their bicycles for local journeys. In other words: Wheely Good Communities.

We're here to support people who want to use their bikes instead of cars:

• to go to work, school or college
• for shopping or running errands
• to visit friends, relatives or local attractions
• for health, fitness, leisure or pleasure

So if you want to give your car a rest and your legs a gentle spin, let us help you get out in the fresh air, see the local countryside, and find a quiet backroad way to get where you want to go by bike.

Thanks to funding from Lancaster City Council, Cycling England, Kellogg's Active Living Fund, Arnside & Silverdale AONB and Cumbria County Council Neighbourhood Forum we're able to offer FREE in village support for cycling including:

• Information and advice
• Dr Bike: Free bike check-ups
• On Your Bike - Guided Local Rides
• Family Cycling Equipment Loans
• Bike Buddies
• Advice on Bikeability Training

You can find out more about the project here on the website, by downloading our leaflet (pdf), listening to an interview (mp3) about the project or by giving us a call. If you're running a local event, we have a Wheely Good Roadshow we can bring to you to help spread the word. We welcome your feedback, suggestions for developing the project and of course any offers of help and support.
