Summer Break!

During the summer (starting from the 1st of June) beCyCle will only be open on Staurdays! You may find us on the odd Wednesday too, but if you want to be on the save side, come on Saturday.  :)

“Steve Two” cycles Land’s End to John O’ Groats

Steve will start the popular and epic ride from Land’s End to John O’ Groats coming Saturday! He’s trained over the last months and is planning to do an average of 75 miles (114KM) each day. You can support his good cause with a few pounds on his just giving page. The page will also be updated on regaular intervals for the duration of his ride, so that we can follow him from our seats at home. I am jealous!

Enjoy your ride Steve!

Aberdeen’s first Ghost Bike

ACF is planning a Bike Week between the 16th -24th of June 2012 and we want to put up a Ghost Bike (http://ghostbikes.org/) for a beCyCler (Milena) whom we have lost on Aberdeen’s roads.

Proposed is a safety workshop, some cycle training, then a big group ride (maybe a silence ride?) to the place where the fatal accident took place, set our sign and then continue cycling out of town. Have a lunch at a nice place and split up afterwards in our own directions.

Any alterations to the plan?
Do people have a favourite date for that week? How about the 23rd and we close beCyCle for that day? Vote here: http://www.doodle.com/m4vhhywnmmcewtzh

Who is up for helping to organise the event? We need to organise the lunch, the route, the saftey and cycle workshop, and we need to make the Ghost Bike!

Land Yacht with bicycle spareparts (beCyCle sponsored ;) )

This land yacht, that is partially made out of bicycle spare parts, is another example of the multiple ways of recycling bicycles…. Pretty! Watch the video too, the filiming technique is good fun! A clip showing the yachts in action when the wind picked up will (hopefully) follow soon.

 

Well done guys!
