Friday 6th May 2016

Our speaker today was Ray Burr from the Stirling Cycle Hub

Ray
– “I have been a mountain biker for over 25 years with many battle scars to prove it. Before moving to Falkirk I lived and worked in
Glasgow and commuted to my work in the city centre by bike. I’m really excited about
the opportunity that the Cycle Hub gives me to help people get on their bike and
impart my enthusiasm for all things two-wheeled.”

About Stirling Cycle Hub

Vision

To work towards a healthier, greener future by encouraging and supporting more people to cycle.

Aims

  • To provide expert knowledge of cycle routes and support networks in & around Stirling.
  • To encourage and support individuals and groups to regularly cycle as a healthy leisure activity.
  • To encourage and support employers and employees to consider commuting by bike as an alternative to other forms of transport.
  • To work in partnership with and to signpost to existing cycling providers.
  • To work towards these aims both through running and maintaining a welcoming, professional space and by providing support and encouragement to communities and community groups.

We have a permanent presence in the Hub at Stirling Train station and love nothing more than speaking to people about cycling.  We have stunning wall maps available for us to help with route planning and the facility to print off routes to take away.  We also work in the local community by organising and running a range of events. We are always keen to speak to anyone about events taking place and how we can work in partnership to increase cycling.

Stirling Cycle Hub is being funded by Transport Scotland in partnership with Scotrail and is managed by Forth Environment Link.  We also work in partnership with the following bodies; Sustrans, Cycle Stirling, Stirling Council, Creative Stirling, The University of Stirling.
