Free Bike Repairs and Cycling Workshops Return to Bodmin and St Austell – Don’t Miss Out!

Cyclists in Cornwall are being offered a free bike check-up and the chance to learn essential cycling skills as the BEAT Project returns to Bodmin and St Austell this month.

Free events for cyclists in April

The Better Engagement in Active Travelling (BEAT) Project will be running sessions at St Austell Leisure Centre on 10th April and Bodmin Leisure Centre on 15th April, both from 1pm to 4pm.

The project, funded through Active Travel England and Cornwall Council, is delivered by charitable social enterprise GLL in partnership with The Cornwall Bicycle Project.

As part of the events, attendees can get a free MOT or quick fix for their bikes, take part in a puncture repair workshop, enjoy outdoor cycling activities, and find out how to access Beryl Bikes in Cornwall.

Unused bikes – as long as they’re not rusty – can also be brought along for recycling.

“A wonderful, healthy way of experiencing our beautiful county”

Karen Edmond, GLL’s Community Sport Manager in Cornwall, said:

“The BEAT Project is all about making better travel choices to protect the environment and improve mental and physical health.”

“Experts will be available to give free practical advice on how participants can enjoy being active in Cornwall – whether or not they have a bike of their own.”

“We want to remind people how much fun cycling can be and why it’s a wonderful, healthy way of experiencing our beautiful county.”
