Adult Cycle Confidence Sessions
Build your confidence on two wheels with our adult cycle training sessions. Whether you’re returning to cycling after a break or want to feel more comfortable on your bike, our sessions offer a supportive way to develop your skills.
We sometimes receive funding from Cycling UK and other cycling charities to offer free sessions. Availability depends on funding, so please get in touch to find out what’s currently available.
When funded sessions aren’t available, we offer cycle confidence training for £25 per hour. If you book a paid session, we can also offer you a discount on a second-hand bike from our workshop.
Our adult cycle confidence sessions were featured on BBC South in March 2022. Watch the video below to hear the story of a participant from Afghanistan who was seeking asylum, and how support from our team helped them discover the freedom of getting around Southampton by bike.
To find out about current sessions and whether any funded places are available, please get in touch.
Whether you’re learning to ride for the first time or looking to build your confidence, we can tailor a session to suit you. We can help you master the basics, feel more comfortable on your bike or head out for a supported ride.
We’ve helped people plan and practise their commute, discover quieter routes and find places to enjoy cycling with their families.
Every session is shaped around your experience, needs and goals. Get in touch to talk about what you’d like help with.
Ditch the Stabiliers
We are also experts at teaching kids to ride without stabilisers and often run sessions from our base at Monty’s. We love getting kids cycling at the youngest age possible, so our toddler bike club for preschool children is every Monday morning at 10-11am whilst our stay and play group is on. On Mondays in school holidays we regularly run sessions for older young people, you can fund details of these on our Eventbrite Page where you can book and pay for a session.
Youth Cycle Skills Training & Bikeability
We are experienced cycle instructors and specialise in working with young people from more deprived areas. Currently we delilver Bikeabilty (the new form of cycling proficiency) for Southampton Schools, we do this as a subcontractor for Pedal Power Training ltd. If you are interested in bikeability happening at a school you work with please email us and we can send you the details.
In previous years we have been commissioned by Southampton City Council and been given grant funding from the Bikeability Trust to deliver ‘cycle skills’ sessions for children in school time and in council funded holiday clubs. These informal sessions help young people gain vital cycle skills so they can use their bike safely and take part in Bikeability courses more fully in the future. We are always up for helping other organisations run sessions like this, so get in touch if you want us to come help you get young people cycling.
