The free New Scots cycling programme includes:

  • Bike maintenance sessions (fix your own bike)
  • Day trips around the West of Scotland (spend time in nature)

All activities are free and all equipment needed is provided (including bikes and helmets).

Why join our free cycling activities for refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow? 

  • Build your confidence and feel more independent
  • Meet new people and make friends
  • Feel healthier and improve your wellbeing thanks to cycling
  • Build upon your mechanical skills with a welcoming community of cyclists

Summer sessions will be based more outdoors and include rides and lessons, including day-trips around the west of Scotland to spend time in nature.

As winter sets in, we will shift to more indoor sessions and begin to focus on developing mechanical skills, putting people through bike maintenance training courses.

Services for organisations working with New Scots

We also run 8-week blocks of group rides in partnership with New Scots support organisations across the city.  If you are a new Scots support organisation and think that a block of rides could help the people that you are supporting, get in touch with our project coordinator, Chris at christopher.martin@bikeforgood.org.uk.
