About the course

Courses are being run as follows:

12:15 - 14:15, Monday 19th August 2024

Please follow the screens to book.

Aim of the training

This course is for under-18s who can't ride a bike and if present, the stabilisers will need to be removed for the training. The training goes 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 the rider the skills to go on and practise.

How long does the training last?

We allocate two hours including a short break.

Are you ready?

Before starting the training, trainees need to have a bike in working condition. If your child's bike has stabilisers, please remove them so we can help your child achieve the balance required.

About our fees

Cycle training is a discretionary service provided by Surrey County Council and it has to cover its costs.

Helmet

Although the law does not compel cyclists of any age to wear helmets, rule 59 of the Highway Code states: 'You should wear a cycle helmet that conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and securely fastened. Evidence suggests that a correctly fitted helmet will reduce your risk of sustaining a head injury in certain circumstances.'

For this reason, we have made it compulsory for everyone participating in cycle training to wear a helmet. Instructors will be wearing helmets. The helmet should conform to to EN1078 or EN1080, please check for a label inside the helmet.

Just before the course, please make sure your child's helmet is correctly fitted - this 1 minute video shows how.

If there are any circumstances which may interfere with your child's ability to wear a helmet, please tell us below.

I understand that is compulsory for my child to wear a helmet for the training. If there are circumstances that prevent it, I have given details below.

Is there a circumstance meaning your child is not able to wear a helmet? If so, tick 'yes' to give further details. We will contact you. Your booking will remain provisional in the meantime. Yes No
