While cycling on today’s roads can be a very enjoyable and rewarding experience actually venturing out onto the roads can seem like a daunting prospect.
As adults, most of us will have learned to ride a bike when we were young and, possibly because of this, we feel a little silly putting our hands up to say “Hey, I’d really like to get out on my bike again but I could do with a few pointers.”
We may also have youngsters of our own that we’d like to ride with but may not feel that we’re able to provide them with the best support possible while out.
Suffolk Roadsafe‘s FREE Cycling Sessions are designed to provide the advice and support you want to help you reach your cycling aspirations, no matter your background, current level of cycling ability or level of confidence in riding on the road.
Sessions are normally run from 10am to 1pm on weekdays, even during the school holidays, and are bespoke to fit your cycling aspirations. Other times and weekends may be possible on request (subject to instructor availability).
All of the instructors who work for Suffolk are cyclists themselves and want to help you enjoy your riding as much as they do.
Family Cycling Sessions
Family cycling sessions are aimed to get you and your youngsters out and enjoying cycling together. We work with your children to help give them the necessary skills to be able to ride safely and efficiently on the road. At the same time, we’ll offer advice to help you support and ride with your youngsters.
The training delivered to your youngsters will conform to the Bikeability syllabus and they will receive the Level 2 award at the end of the session.
Please note that we are only able to offer family sessions under the following conditions:
- You must live in Suffolk
- You have a maximum of 3 children and a parent/guardian/appropriate adult must also be present
- All riders must be a minimum of 8 years old
- All riders must be able to ride a bike, own an appropriate helmet and be in possession of a mechanically sound cycle.
Adult Cycling Sessions
Our adult cycling sessions normally run on a 1-2-1 basis to help you get the most from your cycling. We will discuss your aspirations and current abilities, work with you to plan a route and then go riding with you to give you advice on riding positions, observation skills, road priorities and anything else that you might have questions about.
There is also also be the opportunity to achieve your Bikeability Level 3 award, if this is something that interests you.
Please note that we’re only able to offer adult cycling sessions under the following conditions:
