Road riding skills: group lesson LEVEL 2

A group cycling lesson for adult women who would like to build their confidence riding on roads. This group lesson is suitable for those who already have some road riding experience, or have done one of our previous road skills courses. This class will develop your skills and confidence to ride in different road environments, including more complex busy roads and junctions such as multi-lane traffic and roundabouts.

We will start on quieter roads, and build up to areas with more traffic. The lesson will focus on four key road cycling skills: communication, observation, priorities and positioning. We will work at a pace the group feels comfortable with, aiming to keep us in the stretch zone, not stress zone! Riding will take place on a variety of roads so we can practice cycling through a wide range of different situations. This lesson will suit any women who would like to build road cycling confidence, and to know how to cycle safely and assertively following the Highway Code.

The lesson will last two hours and will be limited to ten participants. You can bring your own bike, or if you need to borrow one, please book the appropriate ticket. If you have any questions, please contact Emily at Women in Tandem: [email protected] or 07511502741. Please ensure your bike is roadworthy, and bring weather appropriate clothing, and some water and snacks to fuel you during the ride.
