Family Cycling Coffee Morning
Pop by our lovely new Women on Wheels hub for a cosy cuppa and the kids can have a play.
Want to try a rear bike seat and try your wee one on it in a supportive environment? Fancy seeing how a trailer works? Have questions about logistics of nursery drop offs with a bike?
This is what we're here for! We're here to answer any questions you have on how to get around by bike with kids. All ages welcome – bring your little ones or just yourself for a relaxed morning.
It's handy for us to know numbers (and how many biscuits!), so if you can book, that's fab.

Mountain Biking Events
Mountain biking is one of those activities that looks like great fun, but can feel inaccessible when you don’t have the equipment nor the experience to give it a go. Our mountain biking sessions are here to change that: we provide all the equipment and teach you the basics, so you can join in on the fun. Check out the sessions we have available below:
Intro to Mountain Biking - Linn Park
Join us for a half-day of Mountain Biking in Linn Park. This is the perfect opportunity for those wanting to try MTBing. Led by a qualified and experienced mountain bike coach, you'll learn the basic skills and techniques needed to ride some simple trails in Linn Park.
Mountain Bikes and helmets will be provided. You must be a competent cyclist (able to control the bike, brakes, change gears).
More information and the plan for the day will be emailed a couple of weeks before the session.
