Promoting Bicycle Use and Offering DIY Repairs

The CyclosPattes association was founded in late 2020 by seven residents of the Pamiers area who bike every day.

Our mission is to promote walking and cycling as part of daily life.

Why? (3 good reasons to get around on foot or by bike)

•  Safety: Let’s walk and ride safely in a calm environment.
•  Costs: For individuals and city governments alike, using sustainable transportation saves money.
•  Health: Through daily physical activity in a healthy environment.

OUR INITIATIVES

•          Raising awareness about visibility when riding a bike or scooter.
•          Bike Festival
•          Family bike ride of about 10 km
• Bike Repair Workshop Workshop at the Hôtel Baurès. The space is available for activities related to a DIY bike repair workshop: assisting participants by providing advice or tools for maintaining their own bikes, themed classes on bike mechanics, and “bike cannibalization” sessions* You can also bring your old bikes and spare parts to the workshop (during the hours listed above); we’ll put them to good use

          Self-repair workshop hours: Wednesdays from 2:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

•          Bike School:
  “ “Savoir Rouler” for first and second graders (schools in Rieux and Bénagues)
  Volunteer workshops on “Cyclist’s Code” and “Pedestrian’s Code”
  “Back in the Saddle” workshop for members of the “Regards de Femmes” association

 *We collect your old bikes and spare parts for recycling!
