The Adult Cycling Course got under way on Saturday with the enthusiastic participation of seven new students determined to master the ‘arcane and mysterious art’ of riding a bicycle successfully. It must be said they were great bunch who took the lesson seriously and worked hard to display their hitherto dormant velo talents.

Under the watchful eye of British Cycling trained cycling coach Spencer Harradine riders found themselves learning mounting and dismounting, safely starting off, braking, cornering; by the mid point of the lesson we were being treated to a formation figure of 8 riding display in progress.

Next week we will be venturing beyond the school gates on a real bike ride.
