Public Service Announcement #5

This just in from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM)....


Dear All,

I thought that some of your contacts would be interested in the free cycle check sessions being arranged during March. Please feel free to forward the information below to anyone who may be interested.

Transport for Greater Manchester is running drop-in sessions across Greater Manchester over the next few Saturdays to give your bike a helpful once-over.

Our experts will give your bike a health-check, including brakes, tyres, frame, steering, gears and chain. It’s not a service or an MOT for your bike but our technicians can make small adjustments on the spot, and give you a diagnosis for anything that needs a repair.

Thanks to Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service we’ve been able to line up a series of sessions at fire stations around the area, so there should be one near you (please see the list below).

Just bring your bike between 10am – noon and 1pm – 3pm to the fire station below that best suits you.

Our free cycle checks are part of the TfGM commuter cycle programme, wholly funded by the Department for Transport.

For more details please check get in touch with the team on 0161 244 1264 or cycle@tfgm.com or visit www.tfgm.com/cycle .

Kind Regards

Tony Short
