Adult Cycle Training

A fantastic opportunity for all new or returning cyclists. Please pass this information on if you can! If you cannot attend this date but may be interested in future dates please contact the Park Rangers on 0151 652 5197

Free cycle training is available at Birkenhead Park on Monday 13th February from 10-12noon and from 1-3pm. Booking is essential either by calling Bikeright on 0151 482 5700 or from the following link http://www.bikeright.co.uk

The link will show the dates and also gives information on the content of the course. There are 2 hour cycle training sessions at a range of levels. Bikeright deliver the three levels of the National Standards for Cycle Training . They run group sessions for Level 1 (basic preparation for on-road cycling – e.g. turning, signalling, looking behind etc but in an traffic-free environment) and Level 2 (an introduction to cycling on quiet roads, including road positions). This will be on offer at Birkenhead Park, perhaps with a Learn to Ride option too.

You can use your own bikes if you can bring  them on the day. Bikeright can also provide bikes if needed. Please contact Bikeright directly with any enquiries.

The meeting point on the day will be the Visitor Centre.
