We spent some of the sunnier days in late May and early June getting out and about around the local villages launching the Wheely Good Communities project with our Wheely Good Roadshow and taking people out on short local bike rides. You can see a little of what we got up to in the photos here.
If you have a village event coming up and you'd like us to come along then get in touch and we'll see if we can fix something up. We can bring bikes, tandems, trailers and tagalongs, information and display boards, Dr Bike check-ups and cycle skills challenges, depending on your interest and available space.
If you're interested on going out on a guided ride, then give us a call and we can see if we can organise something to suit you. You can get some ideas of the rides and routes on our guided rides pages.
