You'll begin with practical exercises in a controlled space. The session may include a short supported ride, depending on the group's confidence and the instructors' assessment.
Who Can Join?
These sessions are for adults who can already ride a standard bicycle independently. No previous cargo bike experience is needed.
This is cargo bike familiarisation, not a Learn to Ride course. Although we'll discuss using cargo bikes for family journeys, the training is for adult riders.
Your £5 Ticket Includes
Use of an OurBike cargo bike during the session, support from the Brighton Bike Hub instructors, and £40 ride credit for future OurBike journeys after you attend.
What To Bring
Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, and bring water and a waterproof layer if needed. Bring a cycle helmet if you usually wear one, plus your phone for the app demonstration.
We provide cargo bikes, so you don't need to bring your own.
Please let us know when booking about any access needs or confidence concerns so the team can prepare. For questions, contact [email protected].
