Active Lancashire Launches ‘Cycle 60’ Challenge to Support Local Bike Refurbishment Programme
Active Lancashire is thrilled to announce the launch of its ‘Cycle 60’ challenge this October, inviting members of the public to cycle 60 miles and raise £60. The proceeds from the fundraiser will directly benefit Active Cycles, a community initiative that gives new life to donated bicycles from Lancashire Constabulary, Lancashire County Council, the general public, and even landfill sites.
Active Cycles refurbishes these bicycles and makes them available to the local community at highly affordable prices, with adult bikes priced at just £50 and children’s bikes at £25. Families can also take advantage of a special offer for children’s bikes—just £10 when they part-exchange an old bike at the shop.
This initiative doesn’t stop at providing affordable bikes. Active Cycles is involved in local schools, donating bikes to pupils to promote cycling as a mode of transport and a fun, healthy activity. These donations help more children learn to ride a bike, empowering them to stay active on their school journeys and during their free time.
Through collaboration with other Active Lancashire programs, Active Cycles also offers voluntary opportunities for the community. Participants can learn essential bicycle maintenance skills, gaining valuable experience that can boost employability.
