Nature walk

Group 2 sets off at 1pm.

Booking recommended.

Free bike maintenance
Dr Bike will be coming to Go Active ready to make sure your bike is ride ready.

A mechanic will check everything on your bike and can make any minor adjustments there and then. If there’s anything they can’t fix, they will let you know exactly what needs doing and will be able to give an estimate of what a bike shop would charge for the repairs.

Book your 30-minute Dr Bike slot.

Register your bike to prevent theft
You can also bring along your own bike to get it registered with the Bike Register to prevent theft and make it easier to find your bike if it’s stolen. The Neighbourhood Policing Team will be around between 10am and 2pm to register your bike for free and apply a personalised barcode.
