- Free training taster sessions to give you and your family the basics of riding safely on road

Bike Training can give you the confidence to ride on road and safely
The free (donations to Re-Cycle would be welcomed) training taster sessions will be offered across the community. The training will consist of a two hour session off road, which will cover the basics of cycling safely, including regular bike safety checks you should make, the highway code for cyclists, stopping and starting safely, hand signals and turning safely, positioning yourself on the road and how to interact with traffic.
Spaces are limited and you do need to book in advance, so if you would like to take part please complete the form below and we will endeavour to accommodate you. Please visit www.bikeweek.org.uk for more details.
