How to access cycling training courses for adults.
About our classes
Cycling can be a quick and convenient way to travel around the city. Brighton Bike Hub are now delivering adult cycle training, funded by and on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council.
The adult cycle training courses are free.
Brighton Bike Hub also offer maintenance classes, and together with cycle training, this can empower more people to travel more actively, be safer cyclists and make better travel choices.
Who the courses are for
Whether you’re a complete beginner who 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.
Brighton Bike Hub’s fully trained instructors follow the nationally recognised Bikeability syllabus, starting with an off-road skills assessment for all participants and then building from there.
If you're new or returning to cycling, Brighton Bike Hub can help build your confidence. If your cycling aim is to plan a route to work or school, they can support this.
Our courses are for everyone and anyone of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
By providing these training courses, we hope more people will choose cycling as their preferred way to travel for journeys around the city.
