If you haven't cycled for a while or you feel like you cycling skills or confidence could do with a boost, why not sign up for some cycle training?
Courses are available for anyone of any age and level of experience, including adult beginners. Courses can be held for groups or one-to-one, in a variety of settings including family groups, workplaces or community groups.
There is a small charge which will depend on the size of the group and the type of course.
