“Anyone with a bike is welcome to come along and get tyres, brakes and gears checked for free and the mechanics will advise if more needs to be done that can’t be fixed on the day,” said Karen Edmond, GLL Community Sport Manager.

“The cycle rides are a great way of meeting new people and brushing up cycling skills, especially once bikes have been given an expert once-over.

“Booking in advance is essential as turn-ups on the day aren’t possible.”
