Cycling is a fun, eco-friendly and reliable way to get around – it keeps you fit and helps reduce the number of cars on the road too. If you’re new to cycling, or want to build your confidence riding on roads, shared paths and cycle tracks, then why not sign up to one of our adult cycle training courses?

Our team of Bikeability instructors provide cycle training for anyone over 18 who lives, works or studies in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole. 

Tailored to your needs 

Courses are tailored to individual needs and are suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to people who would like to gain more confidence or more experienced cyclists who want to improve their skills on more challenging roads and junctions. 

The courses can be delivered on a one-to-one basis or in small groups, depending upon the course required. Sessions typically last one to two hours, with the course duration and location agreed in advance with the trainees and instructor. For example the training could take place near the trainees’ home or place of work to help prepare and practice a commuting route.

If you don’t have your own bike, then we have teamed up with Beryl and can offer free Beryl bike use for the training.

Cost 

Please contact one of our instructors and they can advise you on the cost of training.
