We’re running a series of children’s courses in the May half term holidays. There are courses for: beginners (children who can’t ride a bike at all), Bikeability Level 1 (off road control skills) and Bikeability Level 2 (an introduction to road cycling). There are three venues to choose from and you can book here.Weekend adult courses
There is also a series of our popular adult group courses for beginners and improvers available in June and July.
Go Sky Ride!
And if you want to go out on some organised bikes rides, British Cycling are laying on 200 free Sky Rides in 2014. These are all graded for a level to suit you.
Islington Cycling Club
If you’ve done some Sky Rides and are ready to go up a gear, join Islington Cycling Club. The club are now one year old and have quickly become the largest club (and friendliest) in north London!
Festival of Cycling in Finsbury Park
After a successful launch in 2013, the festival returns on 15 June to launch Bike Week. There will be coaching for juniors, junior races (enter on the day), Rollapaluza (racing static bikes), Crazy Fun Bikes for kids, Dr Bikes, bike security marking, a led ride, pedal a smoothie, music and much more!
And it’s free!
Happy cycling!
