Cycle for Health
The Cycle for Health project encourages
people in Liverpool to become physically active through cycling. Cycling is a healthy mode of transport so we actively encourage our communities to swap their cars for a bike, especially for short journeys.
Cycle sessions
Cycle for Health also supports bespoke bike rides for organisations or community groups who want to lead bike rides specifically for their staff or clients. Equipment can be loaned and Cycle Leader training can be delivered (see contact details below).
