Re-Discover Dundee (DVVA)
- VO96393
The ReDiscover Dundee Cycle Project aims to encourage people to take up cycling as a method of maintaining health and wellbeing. We have a fleet of electric trikes and bikes which can be hired and used for free. We provide basic bike handling sessions building essential cycling skills, either 1 to 1 or in a small group, and slowly develop the skills and fitness levels to go for group cycles.
At the moment the bikes are stored at the Royal Victoria Hospital and the Change Centre, South Road, and the Waterfront.
Experience required
Interest and confidence in cycling - interest in using/learning the cycle paths and green spaces in Dundee
- keen to support others to cycle at what ever level - a focus on safety and patience.

During Winter we only run sessions from the Water Front (outside the Dundee Cycle Hub). The other two locations restart in Spring.
