We have some free cycling courses coming up soon to help adults and families gain confidence cycling on our city roads – is this something you would be interested in?
The courses will be delivered by Seiclo Clwyd Ltd, who deliver cycle training courses in primary schools across the county. The instructors are qualified national standards cycling instructors, as well as being trained first aiders who hold enhanced DBS certificates.
These courses are funded by Welsh Government’s Road Safety Revenue Grant.
What will I need to take part?
Firstly, you will need a roadworthy bike, and a cycling helmet is highly recommended. You should come prepared wearing appropriate clothing for the weather conditions, such as waterproofs and gloves.
