Our bike mechanics have been at Royal Lancaster Infirmary doing a Dr Bike for staff. Lots of bikes checked, with plenty of people able to now ride their bikes to work. Thank you Lancashire County Council for the funding to do this and Helen at Love to Ride for organising the event.
Count down to Christmas and it’s really busy still. Sport England came to film our Corporation Park sessions, Emma was celebrating her win, Matt and Emma got presents and James is doing a bike maintenance session for Wyre Council.

Free Bike Maintenance CourseHere's our very own famous Gill Gillian Walsh ! If you want to be a cycling instructor, work with children and be out in the fresh air then get in touch. We can provide training for the right candidate.
“I wish I’d done it sooner!”: Gill’s instructor story - Bikeability
www.bikeability.org.uk
“I wish I’d done it sooner!” says Gill Walsh, who trained as a Bikeability instructor when she was 59. For the last three-and-a-half years, Gill, a former caterer and cleaner, has been teaching ...Emma’s and Matt’s sessions at Corporation Park are going well. We are also doing sessions in Blackburn for families throughout the winter. Contact us if you would like to take part in cycling activity as a family and or go on led rides.
It’s great to get some feedback from parents and to know our training is valued and good to hear Rosie feels confident riding on quiet roads. Glad we could help with the bike and helmet. Well done Nathan and Will.
“I just wanted to pass on my thanks to the team at Go Velo for the Bike Ability course held at my daughter's school, Wheatley Lane in Fence, on 8th & 9th November 2021. Particular thanks to Will and Nathan who were instructing on those days.
My daughter, Rosie, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! We had bought her a new bike for the occasion and Will spotted straight away that it hadn't been assembled properly and adjusted many things to make it safe for her. The helmet we were also recommended from said retailer was also deemed too big and unsafe her. Thankfully the Go Velo team had a bunch of helmets which she could borrow.
As for the course, she was showed how to maintain her bike and then were taken out on the roads of Fence... something she's never experienced before. She's come home saying she feels confident on the roads now, albeit quiet ones... and not forgetting the golden rule to always look behind her!
Again, massive thanks to Go Velo... you've been fantastic... providing life skills that no-one else could teach them!!
I'll keep an eye on your Facebook page, and we'll have a ride out to see and thank you personally at some of your future events.
Thanks again, Kim.”

Every time I see this I have to point out that I have never managed to overtake a hippo on a bike. In fact I've never even come within visual range of one. So I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose that triathlon.
Means I can carry on piling the pounds either weight I'm going to lose 😂😂😂
