If you want to learn to ride a bike as an adult or just increase your confidence, then we can help get you rolling on two wheels!
If you want to learn to ride a bike as an adult or just increase your confidence, then we can help get you rolling on two wheels!
Join us at Tyne View Health Hub, just off Rose Street by the Gateshead Riverside Park, where we will take you through everything you need to feel amazing on a bike. We'll discuss general cycle safety, get you fitted on your own bike or loan you one of ours, then work on increasing balance, and using brakes and gears. Trained volunteers from Teams Wheelers Community Cycle Club will keep things safe and fun, and we'll even throw in a free cuppa!
These sessions are ideal for adults aged 16+ who are complete beginners or someone who is returning to cycling after a long break. The session will take place on a large, closed car park and we can supply helmets to all participants. If you're interested in continuing your cycling journey after these sessions then you can join Teams Wheelers, our communty cycling club who meet 3 times per week.
Particiapnts are not required to book into both sessions but are very welcome to. For other cycling events such as bike maintenance or led rides check our main events page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/big-local-gateshead-69438086793
Here's what previous cycle confidence students had to say about these sessions:
"Having never ridden a bike before, I was pleased with my progress over the two sessions"
" So helpful and friendly. I felt really welcome and supported to build my confidence."
"The class was well organised and it was held in a safe traffic free environment"
