Course & Ride Info

ROAD SAFETY AND CYCLE TRAINING working together with you,
meeting your needs on your home territory ...

Planned On-road Courses, Off Road Courses and Holiday Activities which we are involved in will be listed here.

To whet your appetite, check out http://www.cyclingforfun.co.uk however there is absolutely NO substitute whatsoever for formal training be it 1:1 or as part of a group. A good example of this is that I had one client who taught herself to ride ... in a straight line but when she went out on a trial not yet having figured out how to steer, had an accident which meant all her confidence evaporated instantaneously until such time as she called me in when we went back to basics to rebuild that confidence and determination!! That took over six months before she even picked up the telephone - now finally she is pedalling well, on road and off!

!! Get in touch, it only takes a phone call or use the contact forms on our respective websites !!

N.B. If you don't see what you are looking for here, then please get in touch so that we can work with you to set it up in your area as it is important, wherever possible that one learns on one's own home territory! And for schools wishing to set up courses for their pupils, please click on School Guidelines to give us a starting point to work forwards from, likewise any companies who would like to encourage their staff to adopt a healthier life style please go to the Business & Leisure pages ..

REMEMBER:
Level 1 is for complete novices in either discipline or those who simply haven't ridden for a while
Level 2 is for those who already have good bike control skills wishing to progress further
Level 3 is for those who want to push the boundaries having successfully completed/or
are competent to L2 standards

ON ROAD CYCLING aka Bikeability - so what is Bikeability exactly? Bikeability is taking the old fashioned Cycling Proficiency into the 21st century with three levels for complete novices to those more seasoned riders who want to cycle to school or work, taking into account the traffic and roads of today ..

It is designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. Bikeability is for both children and adults alike, who will be encouraged and inspired to achieve all three levels, recognising that there is always more to learn and to enjoy on a bike. Whether you are a complete novice or someone who simply wants to go out with your children and/or grandchildren but traffic volumes and roads have changed so much that you feel intimidated, get in touch and let's work it through together ..

OFF ROAD CYCLING - the newly developed course from the CTC - The beginners skills courses cover everything you need to know to get you off on the right track and our intermediate/advanced courses are for people with off road riding experience looking to improve on technique ..

Whether you’re a beginner looking to get off on the right track or an experienced rider looking to refine your single track techniques our courses get the results your looking for. Would you like to learn how to do a drop off, or descend a steep hill safely? Then the new Mountain Bike course could be for you ...

By becoming eco friendly, you will not only save yourself a few pennies but you'll improve your health too so if you'd like us to set something up in your area you only have to pick up the phone or email us to get the ball rolling ... ability and age are irrelevant, there is always something for everyone and it's always best done on home territory where possible with the course tailored to your needs! Wherever someone feels there is the need and wants us to run a course or three - we are prepared to travel anywhere within the county and even across the border to assist our able colleagues there should numbers require it ...

Five good reasons to cycle

1.    Cycling exercises most of the muscles in your legs and bum – so it’s an excellent way to tone these areas.
2.   It’s a practical way to keep fit. 75% all personal journeys are less than 5 miles long – that’s half an hour on a bike.
3.   It’s cheaper than joining a gym! Bicycles require no MOT, no insurance, no licensing and above all no fuel. Bicycles can be parked almost anywhere for free.
4.   Switching short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit both your health and community. You'll be helping to reduce noise, air pollution and traffic congestion too.
5.   Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight. Average cycling burns about 300 calories per hour and gives a level of fitness equivalent to being 10 years younger.
