Limited places left on November Learn to Ride Sessions

14 Nov 2013

The University is playing host to Learn to Ride sessions on 30 November at 10am and 1pm but there are a limited number of places left, so book now to avoid disappointment!

Think bike

The Learn to Ride course is a bike riding starter for beginners – you’ll learn the basics of getting on a bike and controlling it, and gain the confidence to ride on a road on your own. The course takes place with a qualified instructor in a safe, off-road environment and lasts around two hours.

The course will cover:

  • Getting on your bike, balancing and getting off again
  • Starting and stopping
  • Using the bike’s gears
  • How to look, signal and turn
  • Steering your bike and stopping quickly if you need to
  • Pre-ride bike checks

Bikes and helmets will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Please note that these courses are only open to adults (16+).
