Today Hunters Hall bicycle children spent their time taping tools and fixing bikes.
Spanners were marked with red and yellow tape to show they belonged to the club.(The reason that this was done by girls was because their bikes didn’t need fixing!)
Boys needed two punctures fixed and one bike needed a replacement rear mech and a [...]

HHBC Gets Organised

The waistcoats, tools and helmets were bought with money from a programme funded by the Scottish Executive (administered by Sustrans) for tackling the school run.
As well as basic bike maintenance, HHBC members go on local rides to [...]

Meadows Trip
The Hunters Hall Bike Clubers sped along the Innocent in the heat and were rewarded with a sit down in a rickshaw. (They couldn’t afford the fare).
They managed a tour of the grand swing park and another rest at the Pavilion Cafe. Then it was (almost) all downhill home.

HHBC Visits the Pyramids
It was a grey day for a visit to the seaside, but the Hunters Hall Bike Club members who went were delighted to discover some sandbag pyramids!
The new reflective waistcoats (click photo for larger image) meant it was difficult to lose them.

Hunters Hall Riders
Now that Hunters Hall has a bicycle workshop, the young people can ride their bikes more because they can maintain them better. There are plenty of off-road tracks locally.
This photo shows some Bicycle Club members (there are about 20) cruising downhill with their homes just the other side of the football pitches. In the background [...]

BMX Track to be Rebuilt?
People from Hunters Hall are lucky to have a BMX track on their doorstep. It’s been sadly neglected since the last time BMXing was a popular activity.
BMX is now an Olympic sport! It will therefore be on everyone’s TV screens as part of next year’s Games.
Ironically BMX racing is replacing the 1km race where Olympic [...]
