September dates for our adult cycling courses are now live! 🚲

Whether you've never ridden before or just want to feel steadier on the road, there's a course for you:

Absolute Beginners (Mixed Group) – never ridden before? You don't even need to own a bike. £60 for three sessions, small groups with a high instructor to participant ratio.
Confidence Booster – already riding a bit but want to build on it? Three 90-minute sessions to sharpen your skills and get you ride-ready for longer routes, solo or in a group. £60.
Road Skills – ready to build confidence riding on the road? Three 90-minute sessions covering junctions, road positioning and sharing the road safely. £75.

Group courses fill up fast, so if the dates don't suit or the course is full, we also offer flexible 1:1 training for both adults and children. It's a brilliant option if your little one missed out on our learn-to-ride courses too, as those spaces go within minutes of being published.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this evening for 'Pedal for Pizza'... great to see children who had learnt to ride recently joining in as well as Bikeability and regular Go Ride children.
We had lots of fun doing the outside activities... and when the heavy rain arrived we all came inside the Cycle Hub for a game of 'Bike O'...before ending the evening with pizza.

Who it's for

For riders aged 11+ who've completed Level 2. Three days, small groups, tailored to each rider's needs.

What they'll learn

The best riding position for any road. Checking over their shoulder. Riding alongside other cyclists with confidence.

Busier roads, tricky junctions, multi-lane roundabouts, filtering past queuing traffic. Level 3 covers it all.
