Beginners: Do you have little or no cycling experience and would like help to learn the basics of balancing, pedalling, turning and stopping a bicycle? The session last 2 hours and takes place outdoors at Caludon Castle Sports Centre on Saturdays from May - July and September - October.

On road training

Advanced: Do you ride on the road and would like to build your confidence to ride on busier roads or start riding to work? The training includes busier streets, queuing traffic, complex junctions and roundabouts.
