Training for Children
Cycling is a fun and healthy way for
children to travel, and it also gives them freedom and
independence. Travelchoice provides Bikeability cycle training
courses to children and adults in Peterborough. Our instructors are
enthusiastic cyclists qualified to National Standard and train year
6, 7 and 8 pupils across the city. The Travelchoice aim is to
inspire people with a love of cycling and the confidence and skills
to ride more often! Visit our Bikeability page for more details.
Cycle Training for Adults
Whatever your ability, get back in the saddle with
Travelchoice's National Standard adult cycle training. Since March
2009 Travelchoice have been offering cycle training for adults; so
if you have never ridden a bike before, or if it has been a while
since you last cycled around Peterborough why not have a free
lesson?
If you would like to gain confidence so that you can cycle to
work, or just go on leisurely rides on the Green Wheel,
Travelchoice's scheme will be able to cater for you, with three
different training options:
Level 1 - 
is taught in a traffic-free environment and pupils learn the
basics of how to control their bike and make an off-road trip, on
cycle paths for instance.
Level 2 -
is covered on quiet roads but in real traffic conditions. Pupils
achieving Level 2 will be able to make a trip in light traffic.
Level 3 -
introduces more advanced traffic systems (such as roundabouts
and multi-lane roads), incorporates other road features (for
example; traffic lights), and takes place on busier roads.
This training is open to anyone living in Peterborough and can
take place at a location best suited to you. The first lesson, of
90 minutes is free of charge, with subsequent lessons costing £15
per hour.
