We aim to offer eBike loans of up to 4 weeks <\/strong>to people in our community who would otherwise feel daunted by the prospect of facing the hills that surround Stow. We will also offer short trials and day hire<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The project will also enable people to test out how they can reduce their carbon footprint<\/strong> by choosing cycling as a viable alternative to driving for journeys of up to 15 miles. This will benefit the community as whole by reducing carbon emissions and traffic in and around Stow. <\/p>\n

This will give people a chance to stay active and enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of regular cycling <\/strong>as they explore our lovely borders countryside.<\/p>\n

Ebikes offer the chance to connect Stow <\/strong>with its neighbouring villages, encouraging a vibrant wider community and supporting a local economy where daily journeys are made by bike.<\/p>\n

Going forward, we hope to make Stow an attractive destination for cyclists by offering a full range of community activities and support at our cycle hub. We will provide bike rentals, technical support, skills development, volunteering opportunities <\/strong>and detailed cycle routes<\/strong> that cater to road cyclists, ebikers, and trail cyclists. <\/p>\n

When we open our premises in the Stow Station House, this will further encourage people travelling to and from the Station to cycle rather than drive. <\/strong><\/p>\n
