Choosing your Cycle

Choosing Your Cycle

There are a range of bikes available to suit everyone's needs.

Cycling UK and Sustrans have provided some useful guides to people looking to buy a bike.

Local shops and organisations have initiatives that can support you further and a useful source of information is the Aye Cycle Glasgow website.

Cargo Bikes

Cargo bikes help you carry more than a typical bike, making them perfect for shopping, travelling as a family, and business deliveries.

For employers and business owners, they offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to vehicles for deliveries, reducing both transportation costs and carbon emissions. They also help to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle among employees. 

Cargo bikes enable families to get around easily without the need for a car. They provide a fun and engaging way to spend time together, whether it's for daily errands or leisurely rides.

Aye Cycle Glasgow has more information on access to cargo bike.

Adapted Bikes

Adapted bikes mean that everyone can enjoy cycling and the benefits of staying fit, having fun with friends and gaining independence. 

They can be customised for different accessibility needs. This could mean more stability or designs for people who use wheelchairs.

Cycling for All have information on access to adapted bikes. 

Visit our Event and Groups page to learn how to keep cycling without the need to pedal.

Buy

Aye Cycle Glasgow provides a handy guide to buying a bike. There are various ways to share cycles with others and partners of Aye Cycle Glasgow can support you to access bikes in other ways.

Please visit our funding page to learn whether any financial assistance is currently available.

In partnership with Association of Cycle Traders, Sustrans have provided a map of bike shops. Please note that there may be more options available in your local area.

We also recommend Aye Cycle Glasgow's guide to buying a bike for alternatives to buying new.
