From Primary School to Retirement, it’s never too late to enjoy cycling. We teach excellent bike control and apply the Four Core Functions which underpin safe and responsible on-road cycling: Observation, Position, Communication & Priority.
We offer DFT & Scot.Gov Bikeability Levels 1, 2 & 3
Hourly sessions can be arranged at a location convenient to you.
Weekend sessions range from beginners to complex junction skills and are based on the individual. These sessions are delivered locally or just within the picturesque Loch Lomond area.
Weekend sessions can include:
Nutritional meals
Exercise and yoga sessions – which we totally recommend!
You can also flip your weekend session and enjoy a yoga retreat whilst supplementing your stay with cycling skills.
Tours
We are delighted and proud to show you the exceptional side of Glasgow and the West of Scotland.
Individual or group tours are so enjoyable. We have some lovely local tours within Glasgow or you can expand your travels further afield to include all day and overnight trips. Most tours are completely road free or include minor on road cycle path use. Our popular tours can be all day with a return home by train or you can opt for a quicker paced return by bike. Our tours are somewhat coveted as they can include access to private establishments and professional historians.
Our favourite coast to coast tours include Land’s End to John O’Groats. We also act as guides if you have already selected your route.
Learning Levels explained
Bikeability Level 1 course aims to develop mastery in cycle handling in an off-road environment and prepare riders for cycling on the road. Riders must be able to cycle (i.e. pedal and glide) to participate in Bikeability Level 1.
Bikeability Level 2 course aims to develop riders’ skills and confidence for cycling on single-lane roads and simple junctions with mostly moderate motor traffic flows (where riders encounter vehicles with progressively greater frequency in each module), and prepares riders for cycling on more complex, often busier or faster roads and junctions. Riders must have fully demonstrated Bikeability Level 1 National Standard assessment criteria before they start Bikeability Level 2 training.
Bikeability Level 3 course aims to develop riders’ skills and confidence so they can ride in diverse road environments, including complex, often busy roads and junctions, sometimes with speed limits above 30 mph. Successful demonstration of National Standard assessment criteria in Bikeability Level 2 is a prerequisite for participation in Bikeability Level 3.
We work with local authorities, private sector and 3rd sector clients to advise and deliver cycling programmes.
Between us we estimate that we have taught at least 3000 children to cycle and completed over 1000 Bikeability sessions to HGV Drivers as part of the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme.
