Take a Brake - Block 1

Low Pressure Cycle Rides With Campfire Lunch!

Has the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic affected your wellbeing or perhaps left  you feeling isolated? Would you like to get out more, do some gentle exercise and  socialise with a group of like-minded people? We may be able to help!

Under the Trees is running a series of low-pressure cycle rides for adults over the  age of 18, with a social campfire lunch, prepared by the group in a peaceful  woodland setting. 

Take a Brake cycle rides are short cycling journeys with no time pressures (we get  there when we get there!) using low-traffic roads and traffic-free paths where  available.  

Don’t have a bike, no way to transport a bike, or your bike is in need of repair?  Don’t worry! You can borrow one of our bikes (we even have two e-bikes that you  can try out). If your bike is in need of repair we can refer you to a local bike  mechanic who can assist with access to the Scottish Government Cycle Repair  Scheme. Take a Brake sessions are in blocks of 4. 

Currently these are planned for Sundays  but we may offer additional weekday sessions where there is a demand. The first  session of each block is an introductory session where we will meet you and carry  out a safety check on your bike, or let you try out ours to see which you prefer. 

Sessions will begin at 11am at Tesco Redding, Colliary Road, Falkirk, FK2 9RA.

Session 1:  11am 18 September 2022 - Come and get your bike safety checked, have a coffee and a chat and try out our bikes for size if you don't have your own. Arrive any time between 11am and 12pm.

Session 2: 11am 25 September 2022 - Take a Brake Low-Pressure Ride & Lunch

Session 3: 11am 2 October 2022 - Take a Brake Low-Pressure Ride & Lunch

Session 4: 11 am 9 October 2022 - Take a Brake Low-Pressure Ride & Lunch (There will be an opportunity for a longer ride if the group chooses).
