ELREC is organising cycling classes which are FREE and OPEN to ALL. We provide bikes and run through exercises and fun games to learn cycling skills in a relaxed environment. The approach is progressive and fun. Feedback from participants has been fantastic so far. We also have access to an indoors space with tea and coffee for breaks. Children are welcome under adult supervision but the number of kids bikes is limited.

Beginners class happens in a safe environment (no cars) and consists in going over the basics:

– Balance
– Mounting and dismounting
– Breaking and Stopping
– Steering
– Changing gears

Intermediate class happens both in a safe environment and in a residential area with low traffic. It consists of going over:

– More advanced games and exercises
– Coordination
– How to be safe on the road
– Signalling, positioning and turning
– Roundabouts

Our aim is to help you go to a level where you can cycle safely on the road and to give you the SKILLS and CONFIDENCE to use your bike more often rather than your car!

If interested, please register your interest to gerry@elrec.org.uk

Hope to see you soon.
