A group cycling lesson for adult women that would like to build their confidence riding on roads. We will meet in a traffic free area, move on to quiet roads, and build up to areas with more traffic. The lesson will focus on four key road cycling skills: communication, observation, priorities and positioning. We will work at a pace the group feels comfortable with, aiming to keep us in the stretch zone, not stress zone! Riding will take place on a variety of roads so we can practice cycling through a wide range of different situations. This lesson will suit any women who would like to build road cycling confidence, and to know how to cycle safely and assertively following the Highway Code.
The lesson will last two hours and will be limited to six participants. All you will need is a bike that's in good working order, weather appropriate clothing, and some water and snacks to fuel you during the session.
MEETING POINT: In front of the entrance to Queen's Walk Recreation Ground, near the tram stop (click here for a link to Google Maps)
TIME: meet at 9.45am ready to start at 10am.
This lesson is led by Emily, a fully qualified Bikeability instructor, experienced ride leader, first aider and cycling enthusiast.
This ride is organised by Women in Tandem, a Community Interest Company based in Nottingham that aims to support and empower women to ride bikes. The session is funded by Sport England's The Movement Fund.
