Book your place on our weekend adult beginners’ sessions at Haverstock Primary School on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 October 2022.

We will teach you how to ride a bike in a safe, off-road environment with a qualified instructor. Once you feel comfortable to go on road, you can book onto our 1:1 urban and advanced cycle skills course. These sessions are for adults who are unable to cycle unaided.
