We'll help find a route suitable for your needs, and can cycle with you until you feel confident. The commute can include a school run for parents/carers.

Cycling after dark

Support for navigating poorly-lit areas

Your buddy can help you plan alternative routes, and be visible and confident navigating roads in the dark.

Exploring your neighbourhood

A short cycle-tour of your local area

How does Cycle Buddies work?

  3. We share the route suggestions with you.

  4. You meet your buddy (online, at the Wee Spoke Hub, or a local café) to introduce yourselves and finalise your plans.
