Our programme consists of workshops and skills sessions to be heldon either Saturday, Sunday, or Thursday evenings. All sessions (except for the Preparing Yourself to go out on the Road Session which lasts for 3-4 hours) will last an hour.

This is an introductory session, outlining the overall course objectives. The aim is also to introduce the riders to the principles of the Highway Code, so that they can safely ride on the road by themselves.

This session will help to develop pedalling
technique, allowing riders to practice sprinting over
different distances and also complete long distance rides using the appropriate gears.

This session will help to develop bike-handling skills focusing specifically on riding slowly, and balance and coordination. This will help to develop riders’ awareness of other riders around them and encourages them to think about their direction of travel and exit routes.

To provide information on what basic checks are needed to ensure that your bike is safe to go out on the road. Participants will learn maintenance basics such as the famous ‘M Check’ as well as the importance of keeping sufficient air in your tyres in order to keep them as safe as possible on the road.

This will be a test all of the skills and knowledge that participants have learned so far in this practical riding session, undertaken in a controlled environment so that they will get more comfortable riding on the road.

This activity will help to develop the ability to corner effectively using appropriate gearing.

This activity will help riders climb & descend hills & using appropriate gears and using the appropriate body positioning

If you learn just one bike-repair skill, puncture should be it. Bikes get punctures, there’s no way to prevent it entirely, this course will give you the confidence you need to be able to fix a puncture.

Learn to negotiate the potential hazards that you may face riding in rush hour traffic. From avoiding obstacles, to crossing lanes, we will help you to get to work unscathed.
