Bicycle Site

reCycle is a community cycling scheme based in Argyll offering free refurbished bikes, affordable bike repair and servicing, eBike maintenance, and cycle training workshops, helping people of all ages and abilities get confident on two wheels.

We want everyone in Argyll and the Isles to experience and appreciate our spectacular coast and countryside. We believe that residents, businesses, and visitors should all be able to enjoy and benefit from this wonderful region, so we work hard to maintain, enhance, and promote our great outdoors.

Orchard Street has been car-free every Sunday for decades, originally so it can become an open air bargain district. With the Pandemic, the open street was extended to 8 am to 8pm daily - while it's now back to Sundays as pedestrianized days, it's part of the reason Orchard Street was named one of the coolest streets in the world in 2025! 

A good alternative to gas-powered vehicles is biking.

Governors Island has a mix of commercial and educational activities. Governors Island offers endless opportunities for teachers to Engage Students.  Will it be climate or development? Governors Island can co-exist with academic activities and expansion. The growing pains of climate and expansion will be brutal but swift. 

Dangerous bike crossings / intersections! Trees cause blind corners. Lots of cyclists don't even slow down! They have right of way, but cars don't pay attention. This needs fixing: bike overpass, flashing lights by motion sensor, etc.

Connect the bike path to Burnside so cyclists don't have to cross the road - designated bike crossing?

Create bike infrastructure to bypass Douglas St.

The goose is awesome! I walk and bike it.

Young child would like to see a bike event with jumps and racing and snacks and medals for everyone, even if they don't do a trick.

I spent my youth in the area and live in the Howard Johnson now. I come to the BMX course (beside the shelter for animals on Cecilia Ravine) to practice tricks on my new bike.

Connection to Washington St: accessible, clean, green, naturally attractive, proximity to cycle track - wistful memory, moving here from Ontario.

I love the Galloping Goose trail for riding my bicycle. I often meet a friend at the beginning of the Selkirk Bridge. It's a great start for riding.

A self-help bike workshop station is operational at the Tayvallich Shop.

This Village street will become even more village-like in late 2021, as it will soon become a permanent open street, where cars are guests and slow down for people. Check out a 2019 plan for more details. Already car-free on the north end, this street brings historic buildings, college students and local residents together.
