Making Clackmannan a better place to live, work and visit
One of the main aims of the Trust is to encourage everyone to make use of the fantastic local infrastructure to cycle and walk short distances around the town and across Clackmannanshire. Our Active Travel programme has something for everyone, from bike repairs to social group cycle outings. For more information about any aspect of our Active Travel programme, email our Project Officer Scott Bamford or call him on 07922 797799.
On the 3rd Sunday of the month we run a Saddle Up Social Ride – a group outing led by trained cycle leaders to explore the fantastic cycle routes around the area. It’s free to join and is a great way to stay active and meet new people. Previous routes have included the Kelpies, Coalsnaughton and Cambus. Rides take a leisurely pace with plenty of stops along the way.

Bike not working? Thanks to funding from Cycling Scotland, we offer a free servicing and small repairs service. If you have a bike with broken or missing parts, bring it along to a drop-in session and get it fixed and back on the road. The Active Travel portacabins are just off Kirk Wynd. Check our Events page for up-to-date drop-in days and times.
We offer a variety of training and support for all ages, whether you are new to cycling or looking to get back out on a bike.
We deliver Bikeability to the Primary School, a national scheme to make young people confident and proficient cyclists which is provided to all pupils in Primary 5 and 6. The skills they learn help them to stay safe, encourage them to get active and inspire them to choose more eco-friendly forms of transport where possible.
We have funding from Cycling Scotland to deliver free Adult Cycling Lessons and Family Cycle Training in Clackmannanshire. Contact Scott for details of what’s available.
Bikes are available for a free loan of up to 6 weeks for anyone living in Clackmannanshire. Download our Booking Form or contact Scott for more information.
All we need is ID and confirmation that you have secure overnight storage such as a shed or porch.
Bikes come with helmets, lights, toolkit, pump, and Hi-Vis vests. Panniers are also available.
Trek Hybrid. Suitable for road and trail riding, 21-speed with hydraulic brakes and front suspension. This bike is comfortable and lightweight, and we have a range of frame sizes for adults from 5ft to 6ft in height.
Dawes City Bike. This bike has an upright cruising position that is very comfortable to ride, and the low frame makes the bike easy to access. Large wheels and sweptback handlebars give a very smooth and controlled ride and the 21-speed offers a good range of gears for tackling the hills in the local area.
We have 4 E-bikes available for up to a 6-week loan, ideal for anyone looking to switch to cycling for their everyday travel needs. A great way to try an E-Bike before investing in your own.
The crank mounted motors are sensitive to your input and offer a very progressive transfer of power. The large wheels and upright cycling position combine with hydraulic forks and suspension seat post to give a very comfortable ride.
Both our E-bikes come with panniers, and training and support can be provided to those who are new to E-biking.
We’ve teamed up with Cycling Without Age to bring the Trishaw Experience to Clackmannan.
It’s a great opportunity for those with reduced mobility to get out and explore our local area in comfort.
If you would like to book a Trishaw Experience please contact Scott on 07922 797799 or email below.
