Would you like to start cycling with others, or do you just fancy getting back out on your bike? Why not try the new Social Cycling sessions being held across Wyre?
Wyre Council is launching a brand new programme of group bike rides for people who want to improve their confidence and enjoy cycling in a social setting.
There will be rides every Friday starting at either Wyre Estuary Country Park in Thornton, Marine Hall in Fleetwood or the Shovels pub in Hambleton, giving you chance to explore different parts of the borough. Each ride is an about an hour long.
There will also be family rides throughout the year so that everyone can get involved! Bring the kids along to the Easter family rides on 8 April from 10am – 11am at Wyre Estuary Country Park and 13 April 10am – 11am from Marine Hall, Fleetwood.
Councillor Lynne Bowen, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Health and Community Engagement at Wyre Council comments, “We are really pleased to be expanding our cycling offer to include these group cycle sessions and family rides. These short, relaxed paced rides might be just the motivation you need to get back on your bike!
“We are also launching a new sofa to saddle course in the summer for people who would like to learn to ride a bike, or who haven’t ridden one for a long time. Look out on our website and social media for details coming soon.”
The sessions are free but you do need to book in advance to secure a place – call 01995 602125 or email garstangtic@wyre.gov.uk. Bikes and helmets can be provided for adults only, please request on booking.
