How to access cycling training courses for adults.
Cycling can be a quick and convenient way to travel around the city. We offer subsidised cycle training and maintenance classes to empower people to travel more actively, be safer cyclists and make better travel choices.
Whether you’re a complete beginner that would like to start cycling or a regular cyclist looking to brush up on advanced skills, our instructors will tailor a cycle training session to suit you.
Our fully trained instructors follow the nationally recognised Bikeability syllabus, starting with an off-road assessment of skills for all participants and then building from there. As well as offering Bikeability, we can also help with confidence-building if you're new or returning to cycling and support planning and riding a route to work or school, if that is your cycling aim.
Our courses are for everyone and anyone of all ages, abilities and background. By providing these training courses we hope that more people will choose cycling as a preferred way to travel for journeys around the city.
There will be a charge for the courses
| Level | Price |
|---|---|
| Learn to Ride | £30 |
| Level 1 | £30 |
| Level 2 | £40 |

All our cycle instructors are Enhanced DBS checked, experienced and professional. They teach according to the UK’s national standard for cycle training and have plenty of experience teaching people who have never ridden a bicycle before.
If you have a preference to being taught by a female or male trainer, send an email to east.central@brighton-hove.gov.uk.
You should provide your own bicycle for the training session. If you do not own a bicycle you can use one of the Beryl BTN bikes.
