On a warm summer's night cycling in shorts and T-shirts in Temple Park with our @templeraiders brings a warm tingling sensation! Them nettles can be a pain in the summer! 😬😵‍💫🚴‍♂️ #bike #cycling #youthwork #tyneside #outdoors

If you're an outdoors person and don't mind a bit, or a lot, of wet and cold or hot and sticky weather then we'd love to hear from you. We help young people have a great growing up outdoors, maybe you can too?

Tyneside Outdoors so pleased to see our new signs up at TO bike. #southshields ready for our Dr Bike event tomorrow 11am to 3pm. We're on the #GreatNorthRun2023 route so will be taking the opportunity to cheer on #SirMo and the other runners too. #bike #cycling #youthwork #outdoors

Not the best end to a great day at TO bike. with our Dr Bike event. These poor people had 2 more miles to complete the #GreatNorthRun2023

Thanks to @CFTyneWearNland Platten Family Fund we're launching our Young People's Bike Repair Drop-in next week during #cycletoschool week. By helping young people to keep their bikes working we can help them stay active outdoors. Cycling UK North East #cycling facebook.com/events/3084518…

We talk regularly about the use of parks and MUGAs and how young people are seen to be anti-social if their enjoying their parks after dark. Shame the only solution appeared to be a big fat 'NO'! It is often the case.

Finally! Someone else agrees. When we say "Temple Raiders is about having as much fun as we can on bikes" it's because we know it helps develop skills, confidence, creativity, physical health and positive mental health. We're not just messing on, we're having fun - seriously!

Our Temple Raiders, young people's bike group, in #southtyneside identified many of these concerns as part of their participatory action research last year - safety on roads, bike security and lack of fun things to do were their biggest issues! road.cc/content/news/a…

Great to be at the Tyne and Wear High Sheriff awards ceremony with High Sheriff of Tyne and Wear 2023/24 and one of our Temple Raiders to meet his #SAFC heroes Dan Neil.

It makes complete sense to us. That's why we want to help young people have 'a great growing up' #outdoors

10 years ago today TO was registered as a charity. We'd been creating the organisation for some time but we became 'official' on the 31st March 2014. We're now 'officially' 10 years old. Let the celebrations begin, party in the park anyone? tynesideoutdoors.org.uk/post/time-flie…

We've arrived in #Edinburgh for our workshop at @basw_uk conference. We're presenting a workshop about young people's experience of cycling and our work with Eileen Lauster of @durhamuniversity as part of her PHD #youthwork #greatgrowingup #tyneside #outdoors

Really proud of our presentation team today AT BASW conference. Great impact and fielded questions brilliantly from wksp attendees. Thanks to Eileen Lauster from @durhamuniversity for doing the work to get us here. #youthwork #greatgrowingup #cycling #tynesideoutdoors

We had a chance for some sightseeing and a meal in Edninburgh before our train home. The great weather helped to make it a great day. #youthwork #greatgrowingup #cycling #tyneside #outdoors

Great to see a local lad do good and realise his dreams. #playingout on a bike can lead to great things, like having a #greatgrowingup or going to the Olympic games! facebook.com/share/p/Rw54ih…

Our fantastic trustee, Paul, is well on his way to hitting his fundraising target and he's not left yet! Those of you who know Paul, or anything about long distance cycling, will know he's already putting in the miles! portugalresident.com/cycling-2000km…

Another great article about Paul's epic journey to Portugal and the work of Tyneside Outdoors. newcastlemagazine.com/cyclist-paul-n…

We know summers can be memorable, but so should autumn, winter and spring. If we want our children and young people to have #agreatgrowingup we need to support them them to have fun all year round. Kids are for life not just the summer! theguardian.com/education/arti…

We've had a great start to our #racetoportugal Paul had a headstart at 7.00am while TO's young people started their River Tyne ride some 4 hours later. Young people are currently leading but there's plenty miles to go yet! #youthwork #tyneside #outdoors fundraising.tynesideoutdoors.org.uk/fundraising-gr…

When public transport is good it's very, very good. When it's bad, it's horrid! 'PLANNED' works on Metro line replacement and essential bus replacement services, and we've got scraps of paper #Sunder #land stuck to windows with scraps of tape. #metro #nexus Tyne and Wear Metro
