Absolutely honoured to be involved, leading the Brierfield Bike Ride yesterday.
A lovely ride from Brierfield to the Steven Burke Sports Hub where we stopped for refreshments before heading back, taking in all the beautiful scenery and infrastructure already in place along the route.
This is amazing initiative that really will help pave the way for increased Active Travel in the area of Pendle.
Watch this space!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.It really goes to show just how lucky we are to be able to support people in the beginning of their cycling journey, especially when it's taken to the next level like it definitely has for these ladies.
Well done, we are so proud!!!!!

It’s so so good to see! I remember their first session. Incredible progression and such fun to work with! Well done ladies!!!
What a brilliant day yesterday down at Pendle Panthers summer jam.
Sooooo many cycling activities going on including our Try-a-bike and Dr Bike service.
Our very own obscure and inclusive bikes were definitely a hit!!!
Thanks again for having us, such an awesome event to be a part of and such a worthy cause raising money for Sarcoma UK in memory of Rob Zed Metcalf.
If anyone doesn't know the name, Rob was a very inspirational person who openly talked about his cancer journey and many around the world followed his journey #walkingwithsarcoma, so much so that while we were at the pump track, a mountaineer shared an image from the summit of Everest of an image of Rob he had taken with him.
Instructor training in Devon AND Bradford today. 4 tutors, 2 locations, 18 instructors have re-qualified and soon will hold the new Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training. Well done to our amazing operations lady Megan Dowd for getting these two courses up and running so efficiently, liaising with learners, organising tutors and dealing with 1st4Sport! What a star!
Be like Andy - come down to the Steven Burke Sports Hub on Saturday 14th May 9am - 4pm and try some of our fun bikes, including a tandem and a penny farthing! BE LIkE ANDY
We are so very pleased to be involved with this year's summer jam where we will be there hosting:-
Try-a-bike - if your new to cycling and want to see what may be right for you or if you fancy trying something different we have an array of bikes and sizes for you to try, heck we even have a tandem and a penny farthing if your feeling nostalgic.
Dr Bike - why not come and get minor faults fixed by our very own Go Velo cycle mechanic.
You'd be mad to miss it.
There's so much more going, excellent food, music performances raffles, lots of different cycling activities and prizes to be won.
It's a fundraising event not to be missed!
Such a pleasure to be involved with the Super Slow Way Linear Park workshop today.
So many amazing ideas and projects taking place to breath life into the stretch of canal running from Blackburn to Pendle.
If you fancy a ride on the canal but need a little support then follow the link below and get booked onto one of our free courses. You'll love our instructor led riders and improver courses.
Or how about becoming an instructor or ride leader?
If your a UCLAN student you can get these qualifications for free alongside your current studies if you are able to work for us in summer. Its the best job ever!!!

We are delighted to be working alongside UCLAN Burnley to support the
'SUPER SLOW WAY LINEAR PARK project'.
This project aims to increase participation on the local canal which runs from Barrowford locks to Eanam Wharf Blackburn.
Our role is to boost confidence and skill so more people feel confident to cycle on this wonderful stretch of canal.
Today we commenced the project with a group of local ladies. The aim is to travel to the UCLAN campus (Victoria Mill) along the idyllic stretch of the canal from the Steven Burke Sports Hub.
Here's a few images from today's session. Despite the rain, they all did superb!
Mid way through their Liverpool to Leeds trip, Gill caught up with Hector, our youngest team member! What a totally gorgeous lovely boy! Well done ladies….keep going
Riders of the month - Massive good luck to our riders of the month, amazing instructors Gillian Walsh Maria Davis-Richards and Rebecca Simms who are riding from Liverpool to Leeds over the next few days and raising funds for Cancer Research. Have a super trip, we hope the wind is behind you and it’s downhill all the way to Leeds!

As we come to the end of another crazy year end, we just wanted to say a huge well done and thank you to all those that have joined us and got involved with our cycle training.
Go Velo have loved every single minute supporting you all on your cycling journey and we are so proud that we have been a part of something amazing. Helping people to cycle is where our heart is at and its been an absolute honour.
A massive thanks to all of our funders for helping us support each and every one of our riders in 2021/2022.
Here are just a few of our memories from the last 12 months.
It's been an absolute blast!!!!
Here's to more amazing adventures.
Happy cycling 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉Congratulations Michael 🎉🎉
At the beginning of March we loaned out our hand cycle to Michael who had taken on a challenge to cycle and push the distance of 100km during March to support the amazing charity BACKUP after a cycling injury left him paralysed.
Yesterday Michael cycled his final lap around the Steven Burke Sports Hub accompanied by our team.
Michael absolutely smashed his original target (within the first 2 weeks) and finished the challenge having completed a whopping 200km.
If you would like to make a donation, please do.
Charities like BACKUP do so much for individuals and families who have experienced a spinal cord injury, an injury that can have a massive life changing impact.
The link to Michaels page is below.
