Bike Group
In March 2024 the Arlington Baths set up a Bike Library with six Dutch step-through Gazelle city bikes in three sizes. These are robust, relatively lightweight bikes, requiring little maintenance and which are easy to ride or learn on.
Our Cycling Scotland funded 1:1 Adult Cycle Training (ACT) sessions proved very popular and were fully subscribed. In the period April to June eighteen club members participated in sessions, ranging from absolute beginner to advanced commuter but the biggest demand by far was for on-road confidence building. The ACT sessions took place on the Millennium Park court, in Woodlands and in Kelvingrove and very often using bike library bikes. The club will definitely apply again when the next tranche of funded sessions is available.
Since May 2024, we have been running a monthly cycle ride from the Arlington Baths. Bikes from the Library can be booked or bring your own.
