There will be four sessions at the Velodrome, spanning all abilities and ages. Please choose the session that is appropriate for each child.
Bikes can be provided for all sessions, or you may bring your own balance or pedal bike.
The main track session uses fixed wheel track bikes provided by the Velodrome.
Please bring helmet and gloves. If you do not have these, let us know in advance.
Children must wear clothing that covers their shoulders, and long sleeves/legs are recommended. Avoid very loose clothing.
The session will take place in light rain, but not heavy rain or snow/ice.
Learn to Ride session, 9am-10pm, 15 children, parental supervision required. £6
A session for children who haven't yet learnt to ride a pedal bike, teaching the balance and coordination skills required for safe and successful cycling.
This session will use balance bikes or pedal bikes. You can bring your own bike if you have one (especially for larger children as the Velodrome has limited supplies of larger pedal bikes). No stabilisers permitted.

A coached session on the inner track, for kids who can ride a pedal bike unassisted. We help them improve their skills, technique and confidence through a variety of fun exercises and races. No stabilisers permitted.
