Children learn how to cycle skillfully and safely.

Want your children to enjoy the freedom of cycling, but worried about their safety? There's no need to keep them indoors -  Life Cycle can help!

Life Cycle has a long and successful history of providing cycle training to children. Our training programmes give children the skills and confidence they need to ride safely in their local area, and all our training meets the government-approved standard called Bikeability. We offer two main cycle training programmes for children:

Holiday Courses for children in Years 5, 6 & 7

A fantastic opportunity to get your child a nationally recognised cycling qualification and make the 1/2 term holidays more fun!

We are running a  Bikeability Level 2 course during February 1/2 term at Bristol Grammar School. The course runs for 3 consecutive days from 10am - 12noon (12:30 on the last day).

Training begins off-road, away from traffic, but then moves onto local roads. Children learn how to control their bikes, how to anticipate other road users' behaviour, and how to carry out manoeuvres with skill and confidence. We work with small groups of children so everyone gets lots of attention. At the end of the course the children get certificates & badges and we provide feedback to parents on the child's progress. Best of all, it only costs £15 per child!
 

The next course will be running at Bristol Grammar School on the 14th, 15th & 16th February 2012. Call the office on 0117 353 4580 to book a place, payment taken at time of booking.
Your child must be able to cycle one-handed and to look over their shoulder to do Level 2 training. For full terms & conditions, click here.

Need your child to be busy for longer periods during 1/2 term but still want to get them trained?

We are working with Ashton Park Sports Centre this February to deliver Bikeability Level 2 training (as above) but within the framework of their holiday child care activity programme. Full programme details are available from www.ashtonparksports.com and to book you call the sports centre direct on 0117 3773300

One:One Training Sessions

Can't wait until the holidays? Don't worry, we can also provide one:one cycle training for your child at a time to suit you! Lessons cover the same basic elements as in our Holiday Courses, with a focus on giving children all the skills they need to cycle safely and confidently. The session will be run by one of our friendly, experienced and fully accredited instructors and will be tailored to the specific needs of your child:

 "Just a quick thank you for the cycle training. Becky was excellent and our Poppy really enjoyed herself (and learnt a lot)."    Alex, Bristol
 

 "I'd like to pass on what a great tutor Jess is - my son has learnt so much from her and has taken on board all her advice and recommendations."   Ms Rowena Kenny
