What a difference! Access on to the Burleigh bridge over the North Quiech has been hugely improved. You can see the difference in the top left and right photos, which show before and after! Below left shows improvements made to the bridge at Burnbank Meadows. A huge thank you to Tracks Kinross-shire & Glenfarg on behalf of all users of trikes, bikes, wheelchairs, mobility scooters and prams!

Iris, Ian, Christine and Kirsteen were proud to represent the Kinross CWAS Chapter in Dundee recently at the CWAS grand gathering, an annual event for volunteers. They joined a large parade of trishaws from Cycling Without Age Scotland SCIO and rode under the huge Tay Whale Sculpture and along the Dundee Waterfront.

Our Trishaw container is looking very fresh and blue! Thank you to all the volunteers who gave up their morning to paint it.

We still have a couple of spaces left on our new wellbeing programme. It runs on Tuesday evenings leaving the Boathouse at 6.15pm. We have a limited number of ebikes available to lend. After a short cycle, you can enjoy a free wellbeing session from a local practitioner Simpli Yoga - Scotland, The Foraging Faerie https://www.facebook.com/ola.stanton.music, Rainbow Lotus, Nature Connects Therapy and Wellbeing Naturally Balanced with Claire

Trike regulars Faiza and Chris enjoyed a trip around the loch last week. Faiza said 'this was our first time round the whole loch and we loved it! We're so grateful for the community cycling, especially the all-ability sessions which provide trikes for those of us with injuries or a lack of confidence on regular bikes.'

And just like that, the summer holidays are nearly over. We had six Learn to Ride sessions on Wednesday mornings with 18 children learning new cycling skills. We also had some very pleased parents and grandparents!
Thanks to everyone who helped us run the sessions, and to our funders at The Gannochy Trust and TACTRAN Get on the Go
We hope to be able to run more sessions in October, so watch this space.
