Adult and Children Learn to Ride

During today's session you will be either learning how to ride a bike or brushing up on your cycling skills.

If you have your own bike, do bring it along as there will be a bike mechanic at the session who will be able to check your bike to make sure that it is in good working order.

This session is for women and their children. If you have a child who you would like to brush up on their cycling confidence they are most welcome to come along to this session. You child will need their own road worthy bicycle and their own helmet.

For adults we are able to provide you with a helmet, bicycle and hi-viz vest for the session. If you have your own bicycle, we encourage you to bring it along for the session.

The session will take place on the Basketball Court at St Matthews.

Each session 60 minutes long. We advise that all participants bring drinks and some snacks with them for the session. You are welcome to take a break during the session should you wish

Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear such as plimsoles, flat shoes or trainers. Wear warm clothing in cold weather and bring a pair of gloves. A few layers is best, as you can take them off when you get quite warm. Baggy trousers can be tucked into long socks, or we can provide you with bands to keep trousers out of bicycle moving parts. A waterproof jacket if you have one for rainy days.

We especially welcome newbies!

Today we'll be starting at Belgrave Hall and riding around Watermead Park. It will be a great opportunity to visit some of the different lakes and see the ducks, swans and geese. We can lend you a bicycle, helmet and hi-viz vest. Please do e-mail us on [email protected] if you would like to borrow one.

This route is all along cycle paths and quiet roads.

We'll be stopping to take photos, take in the scenery and to ensure that everyone is okay

Please remember to bring your waterproofs if in case it rains. Don't forget to wear layers so that you can keep warm. Please do wear a helmet, we can provide you with one if you do not have one.
