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, in a traffic free car park or park. 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, braking, gears, looking behind and signalling. Intermediate riders will get on the roads fairly soon and can expect the session to cover road positioning, junctions, parked vehicles and awareness of other traffic.  For the more advanced riders, the sessions will cover traffic lights, roundabouts, multiple lanes and traffic queues.

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

All our cycle trainers are all professionally trained to the National Standard.

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