You can either book a one to one session or ride with a friend and you can start from home or work anywhere in Derby city.  Everyone starts off-road, away from the traffic. We do a brief assessment and tailor the session from there. We then carry out a bike safety check and give you guidance on your bike's set-up and make any relevant adjustments. Then the cycling starts!  We make the session as relevant to you as possible and ideally will cycle one of your regular routes with you - to the shops, a leisure route or to work.

Beginner riders can expect the first session to cover the essentials off road - balance, steering, starting off and stopping, looking behind and signalling. Intermediates will get on the roads fairly soon and can expect the session to cover road positioning, junctions and road awareness and, for the more advanced, complex junctions, queues and lane discipline.

We finish the session by providing you with free local maps and information on cycling.

All our cycle trainers are qualified National Standard Instructors.

You will need to bring a bike, which must be in a roadworthy condition.
