Who for?

Our Adult’s Ride on Road Courses are designed specifically for adults (16+) who can ride a bike but lack confidence to ride on the roads.

Course Description

The course (2 x 1.5 hour sessions) will give adults the skills and confidence required to cycle on roads.

The course will teach riders how to:

Start and stop with more confidence

Pass stationary vehicles parked on a road

Understand the road: signals, signs and road markings

Negotiate the road: including quiet junctions, crossroads and roundabouts

Share the road with other vehicles

Plus more advanced skills including:

Use the best riding position for any situation

Ride alongside other cyclists

Ride on more complex roads. This might include busier roads, more complicated junctions or faster roads with speed limits above 30mph.

Negotiate more complex roads. For example, junctions controlled by traffic lights, multi-lane roads or cycle lanes

Sessions will be held in a combination of traffic free areas and on local roads.

Equipment

Riders will need to bring their own bike and helmet to each session. Please check that your bike is in good working order before the first session.

Cost

There is no charge because the course is fully funded by the Cycling UK's Big Bike Revival project.
