Cycle training

We currently offer three levels of Adult Cycle Training:

• Level 1A - suitable for complete beginners
• Level 1B - suitable for people who have mastered the basics, but need more practice in a traffic-free environment
• Level 1C - a gentle introduction to on-road riding using traffic-free cycle paths and quiet residential streets, akin to your first two or three driving lessons

The above sessions take place at the Canal Basin in central Coventry, an oasis of calm that is away from the bustle of the city but really accessible being a short walk from Pool Meadow and close to plenty of parking opportunities.

We also offer drop-in learn to ride sessions that cover both Level 1A and Level 1B.  These take place at Moat House Leisure centre, see below.

Adult Level 1C - Introduction to on-road riding

Our instructor will first assess your starting, stopping and handling skills before deciding if you are safe enough to take out onto a quiet on-road environment.   This session will show you how to ride along low-traffic residential streets and on cycle paths, giving you the confidence to carry on exploring the city on two wheels at your own pace.  It is desirable to have your own bike for this session, but a bike and helmet can be provided nonetheless.

• Saturday 11 July • 9am-12noon
• Saturday 8 August • 9am-12noon
• Saturday 19 September • 9am-12noon
