Adult Cycling Refreshers

Free led ride gloucestershire

Living in the South West means having some of England's most beautiful countryside right on your doorstep. Whether you are looking to swap the car for the school run, try a more active commute, or simply enjoy cheaper days out with the family, our free cycling programmes are here to help you feel confident on local roads.

Delivered by Gloucestershire County Council's ThinkTravel team and funded by National Highways, these sessions are designed specifically for adults in our region who want to build skills, gain confidence, and start enjoying the benefits of cycling.

Free Confidence-Building Adult Cycling Refreshers

If you have not been on a bike in years, or you never learned properly, these sessions are for you. Taking place in safe, traffic-free areas, our qualified instructors will help you improve your balance, positioning, and control.

Bikes and helmets are provided free of charge, though you are very welcome to bring your own. You will also learn more about your bike and how to ride safely alongside others.

Session times: Two slots available at each venue: 10:00 - 11:45 and 12:00 - 13:45. Attend as many as you like.

Free Group-Led Cycle Rides

Join a friendly, supportive group and explore real local routes with qualified cycling instructors by your side. These relaxed rides are short, sociable, and designed to fit around busy family schedules.

You will cover short distances along quiet roads and low-traffic routes, with instructors on hand to guide the ride, offer reassurance, and share practical tips along the way.

Ride details: All rides run from 14:00 to 15:00. You are welcome to join more than one ride if you would like extra practice.
