Cycle training

Whether you are new to cycling, or just want to brush up on your skills to feel more confident riding on the road, the council offers free cycling training to anyone who lives, works or studies in the borough.

You can receive one-to-one training from a qualified instructor in:

  • basic cycle skills: Practice off-road and learn the basics. Improve your skills to cycle confidently through your local area.
  • urban cycle skills: Practice off-road and then move on to quiet roads to refresh your cycling technique.
  • advanced cycle skills: Learn how to improve your cycle skills at complex junctions, in heavy traffic or at night.

Sessions are held from 4pm to 8pm on Wednesdays and 4.30pm to 6.30pm on Fridays at Jim Peters Stadium.

Why not arrange your first session for free today?
