Summer 2024 Cycle Confidence Sessions

July 26, 2024

Travel Actively Barrow are delighted to be offering a range of Cycle Confidence sessions this Summer.  These are to support people to develop their confidence, skills, and knowledge in cycling. 

  • ‘Cycle Confidence /Guided Ride’ sessions are instructor led. ‘Chance to Ride’ sessions are supervised only, with the opportunity to use the safe space/off road facility.
  • All sessions are free to access, thanks to funding from the Department for Transport for the Travel Actively pilot project.
  • Choose a session, and click the link to book via Eventbrite. You can choose more than one session. Read the instructions carefully and fill out details as required.
  • Bikes in good working order and helmets are essential – if you are unable to access either of those, please contact 48 hours prior to the session, so we can support you with equipment.
  • If for any reason you need to cancel, contact us immediately, so we can allocate the session to someone else. Places are limited, and very popular, so please make every effort to attend if you have booked.

Enquiries and queries can be sent to TravelActively@cumbria.gov.uk or by calling the Travel Actively Barrow Team directly: Clare 07825 607480 & Siona 07721 629334
