We finished off our year of Balance Bike Buddies Courses with a lovely Halloween Party yesterday, we had face painting, balloon modelling, bike decorating, a magic show and our Balance Bike Parade with @ibike.ie
Our 3 Learn 2 Cycle Tracks make courses like this possible #ActiveTravel @fingal.ie
Our #SecondSpin Project came to life today when we collected the first three bikes
Second Spin is all about keeping Teens who have been the victims of bike theft cycling, by providing them with a refurbished bike from our partners in the Rediscovery Centre

Great to see @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social 1st #SchoolStreet.
Newbrook Rd. is a particularly busy residential street at school drop-off & pick-up times with 1,000 students accessing the 4 schools in the area. The cul de sac section of this street made it an ideal location to trial a School St.
Great to have coaches from Vision Sports Ireland in Millennium Park today for our Tandem Cycling Training Course, well done to all our new Tandem Pilots on completing the course, if you'd be interested in a future course, contact us at active.travel@fingal.ie #ActiveTravelandSport
