About the course
Courses are being run as follows:
- 13:00 - 15:00, Monday 7th April 2025
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.
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.
Please ensure your cycle is in good working order.
Your cycle must be roadworthy. Could you check it before the training, please.
The ABC check (external link, opens in a new window) is the quickest check, and the M check (external link, opens in new window) is more thorough. BMX bikes must have both brakes fitted.
Our Instructors are authorised to make minor adjustments, with your consent, such as adjusting saddle height, but they are not cycle mechanics.
Please check your helmet is correctly fitted.
To participate in the cycle training, it is mandatory that you wear a helmet.
If there are any circumstances which may interfere with your preference to wear a helmet, please tick the box below, and provide suitable contact details. We will be in touch shortly to discuss this further.
