Aberdeen City Council has asked us to highlight the following exciting events:
The First is the “Wee Jaunt” Aberdeen on Sunday 13th September. This is a cycle event where we have created a 6 mile, on-road, traffic free loop which starts and finishes in Duthie Park, travelling via Tullos, Girdleness and Lighthouse and back alongside the River Dee. The loop is open from 8.30am to 11.30am and participants can do it as many times as they like in the time. Suitable for families and inexperienced and expert cyclists alike. To sign up and to find out more, go to http://pedalforscotland.org/rides/the-wee-jaunt-aberdeen/ .For those too young to take on the main loop, a smaller loop is also available inside the park itself. The park will be playing to host to other events on the day including a climbing wall and the Getabout bike roadshow, where people can come and try some weird and wonderful bikes.
The second is “In town without my car day” on Sunday 20th September. As part of European Mobility Week 2015, Aberdeen City Council will be taking part in “In town without my car day”. This will see Schoolhill (between Back Wynd and Blackfriars Street), Belmont street and Little Belmont street closed to traffic with the resulting space given over to a series of FREE activities to promote sustainable transport and to allow people to enjoy the traffic-free space. The attached gives more information of what is planned and activities include street dancing, giant street games, the Getabout bike roadshow, the eco driving simulator and A WATERSLIDE!!!! We are encouraging social media activity with the hashtag #getabout
Lastly, we have attached a poster for Road Safety Week Brake Road Safety Week
