ON ROAD CYCLING aka Bikeability - so what is Bikeability exactly?  Bikeability is taking the old fashioned Cycling Proficiency into the 21st century with three levels for complete novices to those more seasoned riders who want to cycle to school or work, taking into account the traffic and roads of today ..

It is designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. Bikeability is for both children and adults alike, who will be encouraged and inspired to achieve all three levels, recognising that there is always more to learn and to enjoy on a bike.  Whether you are a complete novice or someone who simply wants to go out with your children and/or grandchildren but traffic volumes and roads have changed so much that you feel intimidated, get in touch and let's work it through together ..

OFF ROAD CYCLING - the newly developed course from the CTC - The beginners skills courses cover everything you need to know to get you off on the right track and our intermediate/advanced courses are for people with off road riding experience looking to improve on technique ..

Whether you’re a beginner looking to get off on the right track or an experienced rider looking to refine your single track techniques our courses get the results your looking for. 
Would you like to learn how to do a drop off, or descend a steep hill safely? Then the new Mountain Bike course could be for you ...

The bottom line and 5 good reasons why cycling carries a health warning as it may improve it too! 

1.    Cycling exercises most of the muscles in your legs and bum – so it’s an excellent way to tone these areas. 
2.   It’s a practical way to keep fit. 75% all personal journeys are less than 5 miles long – that’s half an hour on a bike.
3.   It’s cheaper than joining a gym! Bicycles require no MOT, no insurance, no licensing and above all no fuel. Bicycles can be parked almost anywhere for free.
4.   Switching short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit both your health and community. You'll be helping to reduce noise, air pollution and traffic congestion too.
5.   Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight. Average cycling burns about 300 calories per hour and gives a level of fitness equivalent to being 10 years younger.

"It's not so much a question of "Can you afford to"  but more a question of  "Can you afford not to ?"  We all have choices, what is best for your family though?  Just think about it for a moment., you can't put a price on a child's life but you can make a real difference! One child has died already, does there really have to be any more?"
