Bike skills and maintenance drop-in sessions for adults
The drop-in session is a flexible format where you can take part in cycle skills lessons, bike maintenance, or a little bit of both.
At the session there will be ‘learn to ride’ instruction for anybody who has never ridden a bike, while other participants will practice changing gears, braking and bike control. A mechanic will also be there for anybody wanting to learn about maintenance.
It is also a good opportunity to come along and ask one of our regional coordinators for more info on riding locally.
So, if you are keen to master the art of riding a bike or want to learn to fix a flat... pop in.
Bikes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We don’t want you to miss a moment of the fun, so it is best to be there early.
If you are looking for something for kids, check out our Kids Learn to Ride sessions.
