Has it been a while since you hopped on a bike? Or maybe you’re eager to cycle more but feel nervous about being on the road or dealing with a puncture? Is your bike collecting dust and in need of some TLC before you can ride again? If so, join Steel Valley Project for our free events designed to tackle some of these common cycling worries.
The Steel Valley Project has teamed up with Trek Bicycles at Fox Valley, Cycling UK and the Big Bike Revival to help adults start or return to cycling with a series of free activities. Our program aims to encourage more frequent cycling, especially for short journeys, and is perfect for beginners and those who cycle occasionally but want to do it more often. It will focus on building confidence and ensuring cycling safety. If you don’t have a bike, we may be able to provide one, Including E-bikes, however you will need to let us know in advance so we can get that sorted for you as we have limited availability. Email us to request a bike on : info@steelvalleyproject.org
Steel Valley Project will be leading several local bike rides along quiet routes, featuring easy and fairly short distances to help you build your cycling skills and confidence. In addition to these rides, Trek Bicycles in Fox Valley will host bike maintenance and repair “Learn to Fix” workshops. Bring your bike along to learn how to give it a check-up, and we’ll help you with how to handle minor repairs and adjustments on the spot, with free basic spare parts provided where required
