What a fabulous opportunity for us \ud83d\udeb2<\/p>\n<p>Our sessions will take place over 6weeks and we help us to become safe and responsible cyclists &#8211; lifelong skills! Mike has been cycling since he was young and has cycled in lots of countries! He used to be a primary school teacher in Coventry and used to cycle to work on VERY busy roads. He has also completed cycle challenges (a one day 161 mile ride from the Irish Sea to North Sea challenge!), cycled the Hebridean Way Ride 2023 from Barra to Lewis \u00a0and taken his bike on holidays camping on the way. He shared his love of cycling with us &#8211; a hobby which helps him to keep fit too!<br \/>\nOur Bikeability sessions will focus on building confidence, developing our safe cycling and road user skills and having fun!
