Some lovely feedback from Pendle’s learn to ride session -
“Hi, just to say Thankyou very much for your support in teaching our boys 4 and 5 to ride their bikes. They were complete non riders as of last week and now can ride their bikes. You are a fantastic team and doing a great job, keep up the hard work. Special Thankyou to Ciara from Zain and Eesa” 👍
Well done Zain and Eesa! Happy cycling

Our training will continue across East Lancashire. We have taken advice and are confident that our safety measures are in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As an extra precaution to ensure your safety, your temperature will be taken before signing in to our sessions. Please be reminded to socially distance, use hand sanitiser provided and then have a great time cycling with our superb instructors.
Some of you may be wondering how we train during COVID. We have put lots of measures in place to prevent spread of the virus including; social distancing and no hands on from our instructors, small group training, people kept with same instructors for the course and we are working outside in large open space too. We provide hand sanitiser, anti bacterial wipes, spray down all equipment before and after use, give away pens and wash all our hi vis at 60 degrees between sessions. Our participants sign to state they are COVID symptom free at the start of each session.
Here’s some feedback from our learn to ride session yesterday detailing some of our structure in place to deliver COVID safe cycling courses.

Amazing work. My daughter learned to ride her bike in the rain with you guys last year. She literally was dripping wet to the core. Nothing a quick change of clothes couldn't solve. Thank you.
He loved it despite nearly having to grow gills!!! Looking forward to tomorrow! X

Phil Honeyman
Connor Davy Ashley Smith
Are you fully booked for Earby tomorrow?
Polite, professional service with quality components @ good prices. James serviced two of our boys' bikes - gears & brakes checked, cables replaced, bottom brackets replaced (both very necessary - see one example below, which required huge effort to remove), suspension forks repressured, headset tightened to correct torque, derailleurs adjusted (one removed, straightened & restored), seat tube greased for a stuck seat post, and more. Incredibly patient and friendly guy, especially considering the weather today, thank you!
Due to government advice during the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people in Lancashire are returning to cycling as an alternative to public transport. As the country starts to return to a new normal, and people are returning to work, Go Velo want to help businesses and their employees who wish to use bicycles as an alternative method of transport.
This is a free service, to businesses in the East Lancashire area, which will not only boost staff moral in these uncertain times, but also ensure that those employees that are dusting off old bicycles from their sheds and outhouses are safe out on the roads.
For more information please send us a private message or take a look at our website www.govelo.co.uk
