Free Cycle Training

Have you recently returned to cycling? Or tried it for the first time? Frome Town Council are offering free bike safety checks and cycle training to support anyone getting out and about on their bike. 

The cycle training will be in groups of up to 5 per session and social distancing will be maintained throughout. There is a choice of adult traffic free training for those who can ride a bike but want to get more confident with steering, braking, signalling and changing gears, and bike rides for those who are confident cycling on quiet roads but would like some coaching on a bike ride including positioning, using junctions, route planning and riding as a family group.

All sessions are free but a £1 booking charge will apply.

A family ride along the Colliers Way. Learn how to ride together as a family and discover the traffic free Colliers Way.

All adults must be accompanied by at least one child and all children must be accompanied by an adult. All under 18’s MUST wear a suitable, well fitting helmet, for anyone over 18 a helmet is optional. All bikes must be roadworthy with two working brakes. Ride Leaders reserve the right to refuse participants who they do not feel can manage the ride, or whose equipment is unsafe.

Children in bike seats/trailers welcome but due to Covid they do count towards the 5 person limit so please book them in as another participant.

Please bring a drink and snack for you and your children, these must not be shared. Parents/guardians remain responsible for their children at all times.

Distance 5-6 miles. Level Easy/beginner. Flat, paved surfaces. Meet in Radstock at the car park on Somervale Road, near the Co-op.

Laura, our female instructor, will contact you prior to the session to confirm details with you.

Note: There will be 2 instructors leading different groups of 5 on this date. Please choose a ticket group with the number of tickets you need available, as both groups will leave at different times.
