An evening for anyone interested in cycling from curious beginners to fully fledged lycra-clad road bikers. Come along to see what’s on offer in Bath and the surrounding areas, including Sustrans, Bath Cycle Campaign, Julian House bike mechanics and Take Charge bikes. Have a go on an electric bike, find out about volunteering with Sustrans, safe cycle paths and routes, cycling clubs, how to get anything delivered from local shops by bike and more. Julian House bike mechanics will be on hand to give your bike a once-over and minor repairs.
Volunteers on the Sustrans stand are there to tell you all about local cycle paths and how you can help, from keeping off road cycle paths open to engaging the local community and deciding how you want your streets and green spaces to look in the future. Have a chat and pick up some route maps.
Take Charge will be with us with some bikes to try out, so if you love cycling but don’t love hills, give it a go, it’s a fantastic way to get around and it works like a regular bike, but with power assistance when you need it.
