They’ve enabled us to hold cycling events, and they’ve led ride and bike maintenance courses for businesses and organisations across Lancashire. Go Velo helps build confidence and empowers people to have a go. Keep up the excellent work!
Love to Ride Lancashire
The whole Go Velo team was amazing. They built relationships with our children and staff very quickly. The high trainer to child ratio made progress and personalised training easier. The Go Velo team’s sheer motivation enthused these children. We’ve never seen Bikeability delivered so well, and with as much dedication. A HUGE thank you to all the team, and can we have you back next year?

Thanks to some Big Bike Revival (Cycling UK) funding, we are back in schools offering Dr Bike sessions before Bikeability. This funding allows us to help make a bike roadworthy where possible, or to signpost for further work necessary. This week saw children from a Preston Primary School benefitting from James’s mechanical expertise, resulting in more children taking part in Bikeability on their own bikes. ... See MoreSee Less

Massive thanks to Jimmy Khan and UCLan for the donation of 13 superb children’s bikes. Having delivered Bikeability in Preston for 9 years this is a wonderful and very generous gesture. We are already making excellent use of the bikes, enabling us to reach more children and make our service even more inclusive. Thank you University of Central Lancashire! ... See MoreSee Less
