Every second Saturday of the month, April to October 2024, Hillingdon Council will be offering a free range of Cycle Skills training for residents' families. From children learning to balance and those learning to ride for the first time, to adults (16+) wanting to enhance their cycle skills or gain confidence on the road.

All sessions are free of charge and there is no need to book, however, due to limited space we must operate on a first come first served basis.
