Running from Monday, 29th April to Friday, 3rd May, The Better Way to Work team from the Glasgow Bike Station will be based at the Park giving staff an opportunity to learn more about cycling, and the health benefits of using your bike.
The week will consist of a range of services including: Dr Bike, a professional mechanic who will carry out free maintenance checks to keep your bicycle in tip-top condition for a safer, smoother ride; lunchtime group cycling training sessions which will provide a basic introduction to on road cycle commuting, and travel planning surgeries, allowing people to drop in for advice on alternative travel routes to and from work, which may save money and reduce travelling times.
Victoria Leiper of Glasgow Bike Station said: “We are delighted to be involved in the first ever Active Travel week at Hillington Park. Our Better Way to Work project will offer everyone based at the Park the opportunity to learn how cycling can contribute to a healthier and happier workplace. Cycling to work can save money, have a positive effect on lifestyle and improve physical and mental health.”
Alison Clark, Marketing and Customer Manager, MEPC added: “Active Travel week is another example of the community spirit evident at Hillington Park. We hope people will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about cycling, pick up tips on how to ride your bike safely, and meet with others who work on the Park. We appreciate the good work that Glasgow Bike Station does in providing this service and we are looking forward to their visit.”
