Cycle Training
Adult Cycle Training is a series of practical cycling courses for adults to build their confidence on a bicycle.
Are you looking for adult cycle training? We have the cycle training course for you! From learning to ride to refreshing your on-road cycling skills, there’s an Adult Cycle Training session for everyone.
Absolute beginners
Everyone deserves the chance to learn to ride a bike, no matter their age. This session is for adults who have always wanted to cycle but have never had the chance or returning riders who haven’t ridden for a while.
These are solo lessons and aims to teach you everything you would need should you choose to progress to the road cycling training.
Trainers will support riders develop balance on two wheels before introducing pedalling.
Duration: 1-1.5hours
Introduction to on-road cycling
Ready to leave cycle paths behind and take on the open road? This session is for adults who want to build their cycling confidence on-road.
Trainers will introduce riders to on-road cycle training in a range of quiet locations using roads, shared-use paths and designated cycle lanes depending on the area. The session will gradually build your confidence in cycling on the road and in traffic.
These are solo lessons which will start you off on either a simulated road environment or very quiet roads and then progress onto roads with light traffic once you are ready.
Duration: 2-2.5 hours
Family Cycle Training
Designed to help families cycle together with more confidence, this session is aimed at parents/guardians cycling with their children. The focus of the training is to equip the whole family with the skills and confidence to cycle together safely as a group.
The whole family is encouraged to attend the training.
Duration: 2 - 2.5 hours
