Free adult cycle training in Chesterfield
Adults in Chesterfield can upgrade their cycling skills for free thanks to Derbyshire County Council’s new County Rider scheme.
County Rider offers free one to one cycle training to people aged 18 or over who live, work or study in Chesterfield
Councillor John Owen, deputy cabinet member for highways, transport and infrastructure at Derbyshire County Council, said:
“The great thing about County Rider is that the programme can be tailored to suit your needs.
“Your instructor will design a programme to suit you whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced cyclist who wants to become an even better rider. The training is not strenuous and can be done at your own pace.
“Cycling is great for you and for the environment − and we will teach you how to do it safely. You can get fit and save money on travel while reducing the pollution caused by traffic congestion.”
County Rider offers learners up to four training sessions and each one can last up to two hours. The amount of coaching required will depend on what the learner wants to achieve and their instructor’s assessment of their skill level.
County Rider training meets national standards recognised by the Department for Transport.
