Video: How the network will keep wheels spinning
A network of community cycling surgeries is being set up to help encourage Nottingham people to stay on two wheels in favour of the car.
Nottingham City Council is providing £100,000 towards the scheme run by the Sustainable Travel Collective, which will create services where people can get their bikes fixed.
The collective is a charity which works to get more people using more environmentally-friendly forms of transport.
Gary Smerdon-White, chief executive of the charity said: “Over the next two-and-a-half years we’re going to try and go out into communities and get as many people cycling as possible.
“They’ll be in existing buildings close to one of the cycle corridors the city is building. We hope to do regular cycle training sessions so people know how to do things like approach junctions and go through them in a safe way.”
