CYCLE TRAINING FOR ADULTS

All our adult cycling courses are not only available to individuals, families and community groups, but also to companies who'd like to raise their environmental profile. Thanks to funding from Cycle Devon we can currently offer you FREE training from our training base in Barnstaple. Find out about the options below and contact us if you are interested.

Never ridden a bike? We can help you out! Whatever your age, with our training and encouragement we can get you up and running on a bike!  It's never too late to learn. You too can be a cycling success! Feel free to discuss your issues and fears and we'll come up with a plan that suits your budget and needs. We'll agree a suitable training area for you (close to your work or home but away from prying eyes!) and provide a bicycle if you need one. Off we go!

‘After all these years I have learnt to ride a bike! Thank you so much for teaching me to cycle... I love it!
Sue Robbins, Ilfracombe' 

'You were so encouraging and I could not have done it without you! …cycling has always been one of those things I thought I would never do and now I can. Yeah!'
Penny Littlejohn, Appledore'

Are you a "rusty" cyclist? Do you occasionally ride your bike but does it somehow feels more comfortable just to hop in your car? What is it that's stopping you using your bike more? Is it scary busy traffic? Fear of a puncture? Worry about escorting your children safely on the road? All these issues and more are addressed on our Get back on your bike sessions!

We'll explain the latest road safety theory for cyclists and give you on road practice according to the Bikeability Level 2 standard. On request we'll also show you how to perform some simple bicycle repairs, how to cycle safely with children and how to do your own traffic calmed route planning.

‘We found the course content both useful & informative with total novices to seasoned cyclist getting loads of helpful hints & tips. With the instructor's passion & enthusiasm for cycling the course was bound to be a success – Thanks from Team North Devon Homes, Barnstaple’ 

'I just wanted to thank you for your patience and excellent tuition. It has given me so much more confidence and I am so glad that (my daughter) came along too.  She begins the 'big' school in September, and I will feel much more confident in her ability to ride her bike there now that she has attended your tailored course.  Thanks for getting us both on the road!!!
Carla Humphries, Braunton'

Do you want to be a confident cyclist in all conditions? Do a one-to-one Bikeability Level 3 session with one of our instructors, targeted at your specific requirements. We can assist you in route planning for your cycle-commute, negotiating multi-lane roundabouts and heavy traffic situations plus anything else you want to know! It is entirely up to you how many sessions you choose to do and what you'd like to achieve.

‘Just a quick note to say thank you for taking the time to give my daughter and I the confidence to cycle on the busy main roads. It was a great afternoon!
Sue Hooper, Fremington’
