About this Event

With thanks to the 'Big Bike Revival', hosted by 'Cycling UK' we are please to offer FREE Adult Learn to Ride/Cycle Confidence sessions.

Our adult learn to ride and confidence building session is designed to help adults improve their cycling skills in a safe, supportive, and relaxed environment. Sessions are suitable for complete beginners, people returning to cycling after a long break, or anyone wanting to feel more confident on a bike. Training takes place in a traffic-free area.

Qualified instructors provide guidance at a pace that suits each rider’s ability and confidence level. The session can help riders learn how to: Balance, pedal,and steer confidently. Start and stop safely. Use gears and brakes correctly. Improve bike control and handling. Build confidence riding near other people and traffic. Understand basic road safety skills. The aim is to help adults enjoy cycling safely, comfortably, and with greater confidence for everyday journeys or leisure rides. We can provide bikes and helmets for all participants if required.

Participants can bring their children along to join in the session if required.
