Cycle training for adults
One-to-one cycle training builds skills and confidence.
We can help you learn to ride a bike from scratch or remember how to do it, eliminate bad habits, negotiate tricky urban junctions or simply gain more confidence and skills on the roads.
Our instructors are experienced, qualified and supportive, and we train complete beginner cyclists, those returning to cycling, improvers and advanced cyclists.
You may think you’re a lost cause and the only person who missed out on learning to ride when you were a child, but YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We have trained over 200 complete beginner cyclists in the last 2 years and over 90% of our trainees think our cycle training is ‘excellent’.
Training is one-to-one, that's you and your personal trainer, and we tailor the lesson to meet your individual needs and concerns. We come to you - daytime, evenings, or at the weekend - whatever is convenient for you. If you want to practise a particular route, such as your journey to work, we can do it. Bike hire is available to those without their own bike.
We think you'll be amazed! You'll learn new skills and develop greatly improved confidence. But don't take our word for it - The Bath Magazine recently ran an article about us which you can read here.
