Gearing Up In The Park is all about learning to use your gears efficiently, enabling you to gain confidence in your cycling and handling of your bike.

This is a 6 week series with the aim to develope your confidence and bike handling skills to enable you to cycle on cycleways and short road sections if you so wish. Don't worry we don't just pedal you our there! We work together pedal by pedal and take the next steps when you are ready.

The route will take in Thornes Park and will stay within the Park parameters.
The route is on mostly tarmac tracks/pathways with some tracks being sturdy gravel.
This is not a race. The session will include lots of stopping and starting to get you used to changing gears. You will learn how to pedal proficiently creating a smoother more comfortable ride.
The session is ideal for ladies new to cycling or wanting to improve how they cycle. It will be a very steady cycle around the park. No one is left behind, we all learn together.

Bike Hire is available by booking directly with Thornes Park Athletic Stadium. See link below to book your bike. If you are booking a bike please arrive by 5.40pm (if possible) to give you time to book the bike out and set it up.
