PRIVATE CYCLING LESSONS FOR ALL AGES - ONGOING
​
Want to book your own private lesson? No problem!
We offer private lessons all year round to Nottingham and Nottinghamshire residents.
​
Our fully qualified instructors will assess your current cycling level, find out what your needs are, and help you to gain the confidence you need to achieve your goals.
​
These sessions can be one-to-one, or for a group of up to six people for a basic hourly rate of £30.
​
For that rate, the lesson would be held at Lenton Abbey Park, one of our other central Cycle Centres if they're available, or at a convenient location within the Nottingham area.
​
Our instructors can travel further afield to deliver lessons; however, we'd need to charge for travel costs & fuel, in addition to the £30 per hour.
We will confirm any final costs before you agree to go ahead with a booking.
​
Bikes and helmets are included in the cost of the lesson if required.
