A series of free bike check-ups have been organised by the North West Greenway Network to help promote cycling in the region.
Beginning in Muff and Buncrana this Sunday, 30 May, the bandwagon rolls into Lifford and Strabane on Monday 31 May, finishing in Derry on Saturday 5 June.
Mr Rónán Gallagher, Communications Officer for the project, said they are organising the bike check-ups due to the increasing popularity of cycling in the region.
“With an increase in bike sales over the last two years and the subsequent shortage of bikes because of manufacturing issues related to covid-19, people are now more interested in sustainable living, including active travel,” he said.
“We hope that these events will help encourage people to dust down their old bicycles and realise that looking after a bicycle is less painful that running a car. With our EU-funded infrastructure coming online over the coming months, these events go a small way to encourage people to cycle again.”
As numbers are limited due to Covid-19 restrictions, booking is essential using the following link. See Dr Bike calendar below for further details.
