Please continue to be careful.  We recommend wearing masks when in close proximity and maintaining a safe distance when chatting.  It’s very easy to forget but cases are very high in Oxfordshire and the hospitals are very busy.  Please don’t some to a session if you have any symptoms (eg runny nose, sore throat, headache, fatigue etc) or if you or someone in your household has Covid or tested positive in the last 7-10 days.  Whilst for many the symptoms may be relatively mild, the large number of infections mean that the number of people being hospitalized is increasing and many of our participants are vulnerable so please take care, Please use the hand sanitiser on arrival and, if our volunteers are busy, please help sanitise the cycles between users.

 

Unfortunately due to the high infection levels we have currently suspended our catering table (but hope to start catering again soon if Covid numbers continue to fall). We will continue to provide water and disposable cups to help keep you hydrated. 

 

We have a great band of volunteers but are keen to expand our team to cover for people who are away due to holidays or illness and to help at our Tuesday sessions. If you’d like more information, please contact Jennifer or Steve (07764 950685or 07736 069632). There is also info on our website.

 

For anyone wanting to get back to cycling, we are happy to provide help and guidance at our sessions.  Many people can regain their cycling skills and confidence after a bit of help and practice and we are then hoping to find volunteers who can help them practice more near their homes.  We are also having a bit of a sort out of our bikes, especially the 2 wheel bikes, and may be ‘retiring’ a few in the near future to make room for some other cycles – if anyone is interested let us know.

 

Please spread the word about our new Tuesday sessions – both to participants and potential volunteers.
