Cycle for Summer

Are you clocking your cycle miles in August? If you are, let LEAP know. We’re asking local people to take part in ‘Cycle for Summer’. All you have to do is log the miles or kilometres you cycle in August and record them with LEAP. The challenge is planned to get more people cycling, whether it’s for fun, leisure or a new way to travel to work. We’ve also got Electric Bikes available as a FREE hire to get you started on your cycling journey or you can use your own bike if you already have one.

Cycle - integrated mirror
The Bridge of Weir to Kilmacolm cycle path is a busy cycle route for many local people and all the cyclists combine the pleasure of cycling with a friendly manner. I stopped to chat to one of the cyclists on route this week and got a real lesson in the latest cycling mirrors – integrated into the handle bars! ‘Great Italian design and really easy to see what’s going on behind your bike, especially for Road Cycling.’
