Learn to Ride & Fix is a practical, inclusive programme that combines cycling training with essential bicycle maintenance skills. It is designed primarily for adults who may have never learned to ride, lack confidence, or want to become more independent in maintaining their bicycles.
The programme offers step-by-step, hands-on training in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. Participants are taught how to balance, start, stop, steer, and ride safely, progressing at their own pace. Alongside cycling skills, participants gain practical knowledge in bike maintenance, including fixing punctures, adjusting brakes and gears, and carrying out basic servicing and safety checks.
Sessions also include road safety awareness, understanding cycling routes, and building confidence to ride in real-life environments. This combined approach not only improves physical health and wellbeing but also reduces transport costs and promotes environmentally sustainable travel.
The programme is particularly beneficial for individuals from underserved communities, those facing financial barriers, and anyone looking to adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle.
