What does your local Love to Ride team member do?

They are the local experts of Love to Ride, and can engage with a wide variety of people within our community to support everyone with their Love to Ride journey.  They reach out to partners and co-promoters in the Active Travel industry to provide a positive holistic experience for all users.

In short, they are the beating heart of Love to Ride, and here to help you take part and cycle more often, more confidently, for every day journeys!

Who is your local team member?

Brontë Tierney | Love to Ride

 
When did you first start cycling? 

• I have been cycling since I was a wee 5 year old but I got into it more as a teenager and adult, using it as a mode of transport as it;'s much quicker than being stuck in traffic! I'm on the hunt for a practical way to take my big Labrador along for rides with me!

What is your favourite cycling snack? 

• Ready salted Hula Hoops and some mango

Favourite place to cycle? 

• Love the coastal paths along Ayrshire, great views and places to stop for coffee and cake. For more fitness rides, the Whitelee Windfarm

What is the best thing about cycling? 

• Puts you in a great mood afterwards and helps you zone out and just enjoy your surroundings while feeling energised
