Cycling

Cycling to rail stations for work and for leisure. Can we make it easier?
Start them young! Cycling is great for families.
Cycling in our local countryside. Where can we go? What are the best routes?

Our aim is to support and promote cycling in our local area. 

We know cycling is one of the most sustainable forms of transport. Cycling is better for the environment in terms of air quality, noise, resource use and our carbon footprint. But cycling should also be fun, inspiring and accessible to everyone. So how can we best share our love of cycling, expertise and support in our local area?

 Things we are doing

  • Collaborating with Peak Tri Store (Unit 7b, Meverill Rd) to offer regular bicycle maintenance support, free of charge
 
  • Providing a cycling ‘pit stop’ at Tideswell Co-op, with bicycle maintenance tools available for use by anyone in need
 

  • Working with 1st Tideswell Scouts to offer Cubs and Scouts cycling-related sessions and support
 
  • Developing connections with other related groups in the wider area, Derbyshire County Council, and national organisations such as Cycling UK
