A Cycling Awareness course will run on Tuesday and Wednesday 24 and 25 August from 9.15 to 12.15. This two day course for children aged 9 years and over is conducted on the road and includes an assessment. The cost is £24 per pupil.
For younger or new cyclists, a Cycle Skills course is also available. This takes place on Monday 23 August from 9.15 to 12.15 and is available to children aged 7 and over at a cost of £15 per pupil. Children who successfully complete courses will receive a certificate.
