LINK CYCLING

The athletics track is the perfect environment to learn to cycle. It’s traffic-free, flat and open. Having borrowed a bike at the event, it wasn’t too long until we were overjoyed to see that Pat was cycling by herself along the track.

“The one to one session was amazing!” said Pat.

“My coach, Ben, guided me step by step. He was so encouraging and so clear in explaining to me what to do. I was able to build up my confidence, and within an hour I was a ‘cyclist’ and could enjoy cycling like everyone else, without the fear of falling. It’s incredible! I am now planning to buy my own bike and develop my skills to cycle for leisure and eventually cycle to work. Thanks so much to Ben, Becky and the other volunteers at the event for helping me learn this amazing new skill!”

If you’re an adult, teenager or child who’d like to learn to cycle or develop your confidence in the saddle, then do join us at one of the next free events on Sunday 28 May or Monday 14 August. There are helmets and bikes of all shapes and sizes to borrow if you haven’t got your own. Our friendly and experienced trainers and volunteers will support you all the way.

If you can’t make the upcoming sessions, we also have funding for some free one-to-one or private group cycle training at a time and place that suits you.

Whether you’d like to learn to ride a bike or develop confidence making a journey on the road, we can help.
