Social Rides
If there is demand, the group may consider arranging occasional ‘social rides’ around the immediate Glenfarg/Milnathort/Falkland/Loch Leven area. It should be noted that for insurance reasons these will be classed as ‘informal/social’ ride-outs with everyone responsible for themselves and their own bike.
The rides will be weather dependent and where appropriate will likely incorporate a coffee/cake stop to recharge the riders, so please keep a regular lookout on the Glenfarg Freewheelers Facebook page to be sure you don’t miss the opportunity for a safe and slow cycle to catch up with friends old and new.
Dr Bike Maintenance Courses
Earlier in the year the Freewheelers team attended a series of bicycle maintenance sessions delivered by Neill McDonald of Sustrans which now allows us to carry out basic servicing to keep the Freewheelers loan bikes on the road. This was followed up more recently with a very successful ‘Dr Bike’ maintenance session at the Village Hall which opened up the training to interested parties around the village and beyond. Further details and photos can be found on the Glenfarg Freewheelers Facebook page.
It is intended to offer further training sessions over the winter on a variety of topics such as bike cleaning, puncture repairs, gear/brake adjustment, wheel alignment, etc. so keep an eye on Facebook for further updates in the coming months. Donations for the training sessions will go toward the ongoing maintenance and general upkeep of the Freewheelers bikes.
