Learn to Ride a Bike

Bike Bristol can get you or your child cycling in no time. So many people want to learn to cycle - this host can give you the confidence to start pedalling.

In many cases, it takes just one lesson to begin riding. Start your cycling journey and open a world of adventures by bike. By using tried and tested techniques, instructors will help you develop balance and control while building up confidence and making the lesson fun. Bikes and helmets are available to borrow and are included in the price.

One-to-one lessons allow for lots of support and fast learning to take place. They can often get a beginner cycling in their first hour, but sometimes it can take longer. This can depend on previous experience and whether they have used a balance bike before. A combination of a good bike (bikes can be loaned for the lesson) and a skilled instructor are key to learning to ride. You'll be chuffed with your new skills by the end.
