Cycling proficiency

Many people, particularly those new to cycling or those who feel less confident on the road, benefit from training.

The council offers cycle training courses to suit your needs. For further details contact us.

Cycle training

Training is usually one-to-one and gives people the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to take to the roads and enjoy all the benefits of cycling.

Tuition is in accordance with the National Cycle Training Standard. Lessons are designed for the specific needs of the individual. The trainee chooses the time and place.

Trainees learn how to get comfortable on their bikes, control them properly, how to anticipate other road users’ behaviour, and how to perform a range of manoeuvres safely and confidently.

Information on cycle training for children and adults is provided elsewhere on this site.
