CYCLE TRAINING OVERVIEW .....

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 ...
