West Coast Wheelers Cycling Club, with the assistance of Galway City Sports Partnership, is working to get more people in Galway city involved in physical activity. On Saturday morning, November 21st the club will hold a ‘Bike Skills’ event in Dangan, part of the club's 'Ar do Rothar/On your bike' series.
This event, running from 10 am-12 noon, will include a bike ‘health check’, helmet fitting advice, and lessons in cycling skills such as signalling, cornering, and riding your bike at slower speeds – all skills that are useful whether you are planning to cycle into work or go out and race. All are welcome – just bring your bike and helmet.
On Sunday, the cycling action moves to Derroura, outside Oughterard, for the third round of the Kearney Cycles Connacht Mountain Bike League. Again, all are welcome to come along, and members of West Coast Wheelers will be at the venue from 11am to give advice to newcomers.
