Get on your bike - or try one of ours. Our expert Cycling Leaders from North East Young Dads & Lads have set up a fun skills track with bikes for every age: balance bikes for under-5s, children's bikes, and adult options too. Never ridden before, or a little rusty? No worries, our friendly leaders will have you feeling confident in no time.
Please book one place per person attending. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Part of Birds, Bees, Bikes & Trees, a three-year partnership between Baltic, North East Young Dads & Lads (NEYDL) and Newcastle University , funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.
