The email lists below are available for the purposes described. Bike North encourages members to subscribe to mailing lists and contribute to discussions by sending emails to list addresses
Bike North strongly encourages members to at least join the news list. News is sent only once a week and is not a list members can post to, but it contains lots of valuable information about things happening in our region each week.
Here is a list of the email lists Bike North runs with some notes about the useage of the lists.
To check which lists you are on, join a list or remove yourself from a list please use the “Check Your Details” link on the left.
Lists are run on the Office 365 platform and also support a document repository. If you wish to share/view files, please review the Office 365 invitation email you will have received when you joined up to Bike North. If you need to get this invitation link again, you can view it via “Check your Details” link on the left. Each list name below links to the Office 365 document repository.
