training
Transport for Greater Manchester run FREE cycle training for all levels of ability. From complete beginners, to experienced cyclists, there's something here for everyone.
Cycle to Work scheme
The Cycle to Work scheme is an employee benefit that saves you money on a bike and accessories. You pay nothing upfront and the payments are taken tax efficiently from your salary by your employer.
Cycling
community
There are external Cycle Clubs & Groups across Greater Manchester. Some are based around fun 'social' outings, others enjoy long rides at a faster pace.
Bike security:
Nobody wants to be a victim of bike theft. Here’s how to protect yourself and your bike:
On site
Always use a high quality lock and a cable wire to thread through your tyres.
Park your bike in a visible spot and attach it to something that is immovable.
Remove any accessories from your bike that would be easy to steal.
If in doubt, two locks are better than one!
At home
Lock your bike securely at home, too, and remember to cover the bike up so it’s kept out of sight.
Register your bike at Bike Register.
