Frequently asked questions

What's the parking situation like?

Free parking spaces are available but the National Cycling Centre encourages everyone to walk, wheel, cycle and use public transport where possible. Please visit https://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/about/find-us for more information.

What kind of bikes are there?

There are standard BMX and mountain bikes but there are also adapted bikes such as hand bikes (DaVinci Speeder), adult sized trikes (Mission Industrial, Mission Trilogy, and Freedom) and children’s trikes (Mission Trilogy and Picador).

Will safety equipment be provided?

Full face helmets, knee and elbow pads, and gloves will be provided. All these safety equipment must be worn.

What can I expect?

The session is laid back and fun and uses the sprint straight for a warm up (flat area) before going on to the 3rd/4th straight of the BMX track. The 1st/2nd straights may also be used and also the 5m Start Hill, if the riders are competent, but adapted bikes are not permitted on these areas.
