About this Event
🚴‍♂️ Welcome to the FREE Sofa to Saddle Cycling Confidence Training – HYNDBURN!
Join us at Milnshaw Park on Friday 6 February 2026 at 10:00 AM (Europe/London) for a friendly and supportive introduction to cycling confidence. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to cycling after a break, this course is designed to help you feel comfortable and confident on two wheels.
This FREE course runs for 6 consecutive Friday mornings, giving you consistent support and plenty of time to build skills, confidence, and enjoyment as you begin your cycling journey.
What to Expect
Over the 6 weeks, you’ll progress at your own pace in a relaxed, welcoming environment. All sessions take place in a traffic-free setting, allowing you to focus on learning and having fun without the pressure of roads or vehicles.
You can expect:
- Bike safety checks
- Mounting, dismounting, and controlled starting and stopping
- Balance, steering, braking, and smooth gear use
- Observation skills, awareness, and hazard recognition
- Building confidence through progressive, traffic-free cycling activities
Progression to On-Road Training
Where participants are ready and able, the course provides a clear progression route onto on-road cycling training. Skills developed in the traffic-free sessions directly support safe road cycling, helping prepare you for:
- Road positioning and lane discipline
- Signalling, junction awareness, and communication with other road users
- Decision-making and confidence when cycling on the road
By the end of the course, you’ll have gained the core skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to continue cycling independently or progress onto supported on-road cycle training.
