As part of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust’s Open Day Common Wheel had a pop-up exhibit of interesting and unusual bikes. The bikes were chosen by Neil and Steven and the exhibit was curated by our volunteer Marissa. It looked and gave a lot of enjoyment to bike and non bike specialists alike.
Common Wheel were out at Erskine celebrating the end of our BYOB Course where veterans learned to build their own bikes. It was a brilliant event, especially in the sun. Carnival Club showcased their colourful trike and our music team played some music for everyone to enjoy.
Our wonderful Carnival Club creations became part of the Bearsden Festival (10 – 19 May 2019) which ‘celebrated the positive impact of arts on our mental health and wellbeing’. For over a week our flowers, animals, characters – and totem pole – graced the proceedings bringing their own colourful charm and sense of fun.
Our bike engineer provided a Dr. Bike service for the Thorn Park Fun Run/Cycle Fest on the final day, and fixed loads of bikes of all sizes.
A variety of Carnival Club creations were on display in the Christmas Parade on Sunday 25 November. The weather was fine, and it was quite busy. We would like to thank Neil for bringing Big Trike from Maryhill, our artist Jane for masterminding the display, the staff and volunteers who came along to help, and of course the clients who created the exhibits.
