The FNY Collective has just announced their new initiative to help more people get confident on two wheels. Partnering with Scottish Borders Council, they’re offering a series of free beginner ride and mechanics sessions across Peebles and Innerleithen – with free bike hire available.

The ride sessions will take place on Thursdays, with both morning and afternoon options:

Ride Sessions
24th April – 9:30–11:30 Peebles, 12:30–2:30 Innerleithen
1st May – 9:30–11:30 Peebles, 12:30–2:30 Innerleithen
8th May – 9:30–11:30 Peebles, 12:30–2:30 Innerleithen

The mechanics sessions will be hosted at Durty Brewing on Traquair Road in Innerleithen, running from 6:30–8:30pm on the following dates:

1st May
15th May
22nd May
29th May
5th June
12th June

These relaxed and supportive sessions are ideal for complete beginners. The rides explore a mix of cycle paths, quiet roads, and off-road sections. The mechanics evenings – led by local legend Lou Robinson – are all about keeping your bike running smooth.

There’s no pressure to attend every session – just pick the ones that suit you.
