Exercise is paramount to mental health and a good way to exercise is riding a bike and Castleford is adorned with wonderful bike trails – exquisitely scenic in spring and summer.
At our workshop facility we run groups where individuals can build a bike from scratch and once finished can keep the bike for their own recreational pleasure. All training on how to build and maintain the bike will be provided.
No knowledge of bike maintenance is necessary only a desire to have a go at something new and then ‘get on your bike ‘.
It is a way to learn a new skill, have pride in your work and to get out and see the world.
David says ,” I really enjoyed the bike project. I never thought I would be able to take a bike apart and fix it up again. Going out riding nearby – its great for my mental health, it clears my head”.
