Free Cycling courses for adults. Cycling is a fun way to get fit, save money on fuel and is a more environmentally friendly way to make everyday journeys. If you haven't cycled before or don't feel confident then why not try a free cycling course for over 16s.
Don't worry if you've not got a bike – we can loan you one during the course (subject to availability). A refundable deposit of £20 is required for this, payable at the first session. Helmets are also available for loan (£10 refundable deposit).

The Course
