Family Cycling: demo day and eCargo bike training

  • Bike For Good 65 Haugh Rd, Glasgow G3 8TX Glasgow, Scotland United Kingdom (map)

Have you always wanted to try out riding your bike with your little one in tow? Would you like the chance to test out a variety of bike seat and trailer options in a safe & supportive environment with Bike for Good's knowledgeable staff? Here's your chance!

Woodlands Community Climate Action Project wants to help you and your whole family get cycling safely and comfortably. Join us on Saturday March 12th at Bike For Good West, 65 Haugh Rd, Glasgow G3 8TX. Meet at 1:45 for a 2PM departure. It will last 2 hours. But you are free to leave earlier of course. This is a FREE session. Donations are always welcome.

Things we will cover:
General demonstration of the eCargo bikes
How to charge and store batteries
How to use the Computer on the ecargo bike
Starting and stopping
Using different settings of the power output
Using Cargo bikes with heavy loads and children
General Cycle training lessons if required

As folks are comfortable we will also venture out onto the Kelvin Walkway and Kelvingrove Park.

Participants are required to be confident cyclists as Cargo bikes are not easy to manoeuvre and they are fairly heavy bikes to cycle. The eCargo bikes and trailers that will be available for demonstration:

  • Urban Arrow 1000

  • Tern GSD

  • Larry vs Harry Bullit

  • Omnium

  • Carla Cargo Trailer

  • Surly Ted Trailer

  • Ridgeback e-bike

  • Van RaamVeloplus

  • Butchers and Bicycles MK1

Reserve a spot with the Googleform here

Capacity is 12 adults plus any amount of kids, mainly focusing on training parents to use cargo bikes, not children but it's good that the wee ones would be present as the parents will use the cargo bikes with the kids.

We recommend adults take a lateral flow test before attending. Any questions please get in touch.
