FOR Cardiff are working with Cardiff based cycling charity Pedal Power to help encourage more people to cycle to work. We’re piloting some cycle training sessions with the aim of encouraging people to feel more confident making their way to work by bike and to better understand the barriers to cycle commuting so that we can help address them. These fully funded pilot sessions are available to employees of FOR Cardiff member businesses only, and will take place in June:
Intermediate: Bike hire available or bring your own
Improve your cycling skills and confidence. Participants must already have good cycle control skills, such as cycling one-handed and stopping quickly in an emergency. You’ll start in an off-road environment to refresh your cycling technique and develop new skills before moving on to practice on quiet roads and progressing to busier roads as appropriate.
Thursday 19th June – Register
Advanced: Must have own bike
Perfect your cycling techniques in positioning, awareness and communication. Improve your performance when dealing with complex junctions, heavy traffic or cycling at night and receive assurance that you are cycling efficiently and effectively. Get feedback on your cycling and be confident that your riding style and road position align with current recommendations. This session will involve more challenging situations, which could include complex junctions, filtering techniques, multi-lane traffic, and busy roundabouts. Participants must have good cycle control skills, such as cycling one-handed and stopping quickly in an emergency.
