The adult All Ability Club meets on alternate Saturday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm. A new Junior All Ability Club (under 16s plus family and carers) runs from 12pm to 1pm before the adult sessions.

In response to demand from participants, free ‘one to one’ sessions outside of Club times are also now available, either on Thursday afternoons or at other times on requests. Sessions last one hour and are an ideal opportunity for participants to gain confidence and develop skills with focussed support.

Both the Club and individual sessions operate with fully qualified cycling instructors who create a relaxed, fun atmosphere while responding to individual riders needs.
