Coaching Sessions - Traffic-free Cycle Track

Friday 15th July, 2:30pm-5pm, Brownlee Cycle Track, Weetwood

If you are new to cycling or haven’t riden in a while then this could be the event for you. We really want this to be an inclusive fun event that many people can get involved in. To take part you'll need a bike, helmet and a basic level of riding ability.

To support those newer cyclists we have enlisted the support of Kate who is a cycling coach – who specifically works with people to get them ready to ride and confident on the roads. You can follow Kate on Instagram at the Personal Cyclist to see what she does.

We have arranged for Kate to hold some introductory lessons to have a taster session or a re-learn how to ride. If you are interested then please email Tara Howard-Goldsmith. There are also bikes available hire at Brownlee cycle track.

Cycle-To-Work Scheme

It is also a great reminder to let you know about the Cycle-To-Work scheme that allows you to buy a bike at a discounted rate. 

Very simply, Arla buys the bike/accessories and you pay it back through monthly deductions form your salary over between 12 and 24 months (sometimes longer).

These deductions are made from your gross salary, thereby reducing the amount of your taxable income and effectively reducing the cost of the bike to you.
