About this Event
Lady Pedal are teaming up with some qualified cycle Instructors to run another series of skills sessions focusing on building confidence.
We'll meet Thursday evenings - 6:15-8:30 for 4 weeks in front of Alexandra Park Cafe to develop our skills in the park and work up to exploring the surrounding area.
This workshop is primarily aimed at women who can ride but are ready to take that next step on to the road and want to beat the nerves.
You'll need to bring:
- A roadworthy bike (this means that it's safe and in working order, and that it fits you well enough to ride it)
- Weather appropriate clothing that won't get caught up in wheels or pedals (it's Manchester so be prepared!)
- Comfortable flat footwear
- Helmets are recommended
- A drink
- A snack (just to keep the hanger at bay if that's a risk)
We will cover some basic cycling skills and bike handling, and move to group riding skills and solo travel during the 4 sessions to help you improve technique and feel more confident. You'll also learn how to check if your bike is roadworthy and get a few tips on how to plan your commute. The sessions are progressive so we recommend booking all 4 dates.
If you're not sure it's for you, or want to discuss something specific - drop us an email at [email protected] or message us via our socials.
Don't forget you'll need to book each session individually!
These sessions are funded by Cycling UK, you will be sent a survey by Cycling UK. These provide evidence for funders that people need help to cycle for local everyday journeys. Surveys help us continue offering free events just like this one!
