Funded through the Vision 2030 Community Grants, our cycling project is aimed at individuals living in Sandwell aged 16yrs and above.
The aim of the programme is to:
- Increase physical activity levels
- Have a positive impact on mental and physical health
- Learn new cycling skills and safety
- Reduce loneliness and isolation
- Improved social networks
- Encouraging cycling to support the environment
Participants do not need to be regular or confident bike riders but do need to know how to balance on and ride a bike.
Cycling sessions will take place on a weekly basis and delivered from YMCA Western Gateway, 38 Carters Green, West Bromwich, B70 9LG
All rides are led by a YMCA staff member as a lead rider and supported by volunteer(s). To attend participants must book in advance. Don’t have a bike? Don’t worry! Participants can request and sign out one of ours on the day.
Please contact the team in advance to discuss the requirements of signing out a YMCA bike. There is a limited number of bikes available so they must be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.
If you are interested in joining our cycling rides or have further questions please contact us on the below details:
