Family Pedal Picnics
While the Bike Bus goes on its holidays, we have a summer programme of bike-based activities to keep you and your wee ones pedalling their way around Strathspey.
Family Pedal Picnics are just that — a chance for parents and children to use your bikes to meet other families and get involved in fun, outdoor activities in the Summer holidays. It's not all about the cycling, as we'll be using bikes to get to picnic spots and complete outdoor challenges!
These free outdoor activities will be taking place throughout the school summer holidays in Boat of Garten (Tuesdays) and Grantown (Wednesdays) from 0930-1130. Read on to find out more and sign up!
