Course

About the course

Courses are being run as follows:

12:30 - 14:30, Thursday 21st September 2023

Please follow the screens to book.

Aim of the training

This training is for you if you are over 18 and can't ride a bike. We will help you through stages of safely getting on and off a bike, braking, steering, getting a good balance and pedalling. Most people are able to achieve these by the end of the course, although it's impossible for us to guarantee it. The training will give you the skills to go on and practice.

Where does the training take place?

It will be in a traffic-free area. Please meet at Spelthorne Leisure Centre.

How long does the training last?

We allocate two hours, allowing for an unhurried pace with rest breaks.

Are you ready?

Before starting the training, you just need to have a bike in working condition. If your bike has stabilsers please remove them before the training. Please note that a road bike with drop handle bars is not suitable for this training.
