ACT Now wants to remove the barriers to sustainable transport in Mid Argyll and encourage residents to get pedalling!

We do this in the following ways:

ACT Now have full cycle repair kits, including repair stands, for free hire to anyone who lives in Mid Argyll. We can also support you in learning how to maintain and repair your bicycle. 

Cycle repair kits

ACT Now have trained five Mid Argyll residents in Velotech Bronze Cycle Technician training with more opportunities available in the future.

Cycle technicians

ACT Now have an Ecargo bike as part of the Energy Saving Trust 'eCargo Business Research Project'. If you would like to trial this bike on behalf of your business or organisation please get in touch.  

Ecargo bike

ACT Now have completed free bike safety checks and the fitting of free cycle computers to record the difference Mid Argyll residents can make to their travel habits. 

Bikes fitted with free cycle computers

ACT Now works with Ardrishaig Bothy on the Bikes Back to the Community Project. This project takes bikes that are either due for landfill or donated by local residents and repairs them, making them available for use once again free to the Mid Argyll community. The Ardrishaig Bothy can be found here on Facebook. 

If you would like to apply for a reconditioned bike please fill in this application form and return it to Jamie: [email protected], 07943 020241, or Alec at the Ardrishaig Bothy: [email protected], 07887567578.

Bikes for ready for refurbishment

Please get in touch with our ACT Now project officer, Jamie ([email protected]), if you would like support making the move from car to bike. ACT Now has many ways to support your move to sustainable transport. 

If you would like to support the project through used bike donations or volunteering we would love to hear from you!
