Adult Learn to Ride

Learn how to ride a bike together

There may be many reasons why you never had the opportunity to learn a bicycle when you were younger. Or maybe you did learn as a child, but the idea of cycling on London’s roads gives you a little bit of a scare. And going to ‘cycling class’ on your own? No way! Don’t worry, you’re far from the only one who has thoughts and feelings like this. Our adult Learn to Ride group cycling sessions will help you get the skill and confidence needed to start cycling.

Anyone who lives, works or studies in Islington is entitled to attend our Adult Learn to Ride course. After this, and once you can confidently control a bike, you are entitled to two free one-to-one sessions.

Islington Council instructors will help you progress through the National Standards for cycle training.  Bicycles and helmets (should you wish to wear one) are available for you to use.  Learning as a group is great fun and our instructors are patient and encouraging. Our courses take place at Winton Primary School.

Please note, from January 2026, these sessions will run on Sundays.
