Get Your Bike Ready for Summer: Free Bike MOT Session at St Austell Leisure Centre

St Austell Leisure Centre is offering a free bike MOT session on Monday, 29th July, from 9am to 1pm, as part of the BEAT Project – Better Engagement in Active Travelling. This event is an extension of the engagement days held in June and aims to encourage more people to take up cycling.

Expert Advice from Cornwall Bicycle Project

Mechanics from the Cornwall Bicycle Project will be on hand to inspect bikes and provide valuable technical advice. Participants can expect guidance on various bike components, including wheels, tyres, brakes, gears, lights, racks, saddles, and pedals.

The event is being organised in partnership with GLL, a not-for-profit social enterprise operating under the Better brand. GLL Community Sport Manager, Karen Edmond, emphasised the importance of cycling for all, regardless of experience level.

“We are trying to encourage people over the summer months to get their bikes out and cycle more,” said Karen Edmond. “You don’t have to be a serious cyclist to reap the benefits of being more active – short journeys and rides out with the family all help to improve both physical and mental health.”
