Young cyclists invited to learn from the sport’s experts
10/08/2021
Free weekly Go Ride sessions start at Spiceball Skate Park this morning
Starting today the area’s young cyclists can improve their confidence, keep active and have fun with some of the country’s biking experts. Free weekly Go Ride sessions get underway at Spiceball Skate Park this morning.
The activity is organised by Cherwell District Council and will be led by the experts from British Cycling.
Hourly sessions will run between 10.30am – 3pm every Tuesday from today until August 31 and should be booked in advance. Bikes and helmets will be provided although participants are invited to bring their own.
The free scheme is being delivered through funding from the government’s holiday activities and food programme.
Councillor Phil Chapman, Lead Member for Leisure and Sport, said: “This programme is an ideal way to keep children happy and healthy this summer. They are invited to take part each week, building their skills and forming friendships with other children taking part.
“After the amazing success of Team GB’s young cyclists at the Olympics, there’s no better time to get young people involved!”
The initiative is the second in a series of cycling opportunities being organised thanks to a new partnership between Cherwell District Council and British Cycling, the sport’s national governing body. The year-long deal will see British Cycling help to develop local initiatives, encouraging people of all ages and abilities to get back in the saddle.
You can book onto one of the sessions here.
