Learning as a group is great fun and our instructors are patient and encouraging. Our courses take place at Winton Primary School.

Basic cycle skills – off-road control skills
Our basic cycle skills course is for those who are able to ride a bike unaided, but need better control skills before going out on the roads. This course is covered in two sessions. (Please note that basic cycle skills is not a course for beginners – you can find our beginners courses above).
