🍂 Half-term plans sorted! We still have spaces on two of our kids' sessions next week:

🔹 Fun Skills (ages 4+)
Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 October, 1 to 2:30pm
Games, cone weaving, braking and one-handed riding to build real bike control. Children need to be able to ride on their own for about 100m. £40 for both sessions, or £52 with bike hire.

🔹 Balance Biking taster (ages 2 to 4)
Friday 30 October, 1 pm
A fun 30 minutes of games and skills on our mini town, the perfect first step towards riding a bike. £8, or £11 with a balance bike. A parent or carer stays with their child, and helmets are a must.

Full 3 part courses also start 3rd November - £18 for 3 sessions

Plus there's one place left on our normally sold out Learn 2 Ride (10:15am, 27 to 30 October).

Book on our website, under Training, then Children's courses.

Don't let the darker evenings put you off! November is a brilliant time to build your confidence on a bike, so you're ready to ride all through winter and into spring. 🚲

Our small-group adult courses still have spaces:

🔹 Absolute Beginners
Never ridden, or not since you were a child? Start from scratch with patient, friendly coaching. Two groups to choose from:
• Starting 3 November, 1 to 2pm
• Starting Friday 6 November, 10:30am

🔹 Confidence Booster
You can ride, but busy roads and junctions put you off? We'll help you feel safe and in control.
• Starting Wednesday 4 November, 12:30 to 2pm

Each course is three sessions, booked together as one block, from £60. Bike hire is always available, so you don't need your own bike to learn.

Booking closes on Tuesday 3 November. Book on our website under Training, then Adult courses.

Always wanted to ride a bike, or feel a bit wobbly getting back on? Our November adult courses are now open for booking 🚲

🔹 Absolute Beginners (mixed group)
Tuesdays 3, 10 and 17 November, 1 to 2pm
For complete beginners. You don't even need your own bike. Groups are tiny (a maximum of 3 people), so you get plenty of support.

🔹 Confidence Booster
Wednesdays 4, 11 and 18 November, 12:30 to 2pm
If you can ride a short distance but want to feel steadier, this will help you build your skills and get ride-ready.

Both courses are £60 for three sessions. If you need a bike, it's £78 with bike hire for all three.

Can't make these dates? You can book 1:1 training at a time that suits you.

Are there roads where lower speeds could help our community feel safer, whether walking, cycling, or using mobility aids?

Hertfordshire County Council knows that a 20mph limit isn’t appropriate on every road. That's why they want to hear your thoughts on which roads, if any, should be included in the 20mph scheme.

There’s one week left to have your say at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/20mph
