Linmere, Central Beds Council, and Bidwell West are teaming up with Cycle4Life to help residents of Linmere and Bidwell West build their cycling confidence this summer. Offering Led Rides, Learn to Ride sessions and Junior Explorer rides, there’ll be plenty of opportunity for residents with any level of cycling experience to take part, build their confidence and grow their love for cycling.
Cycle4Life’s highly-experienced team will be running sessions within park areas and cycle routes around Linmere, Linmere Park, Bidwell West and Houghton Hall Park. An ideal opportunity for local families to meet neighbours and discover cycling routes and loops to use and enjoy around the area
Becky is joined by one of her regulars at Bidwell West.
Details, days and times for both Linmere and Bidwell sessions can be found below. Participants are asked to bring their own bike, in good working order and a cycling helmet. If you don’t have access to a bike, you can hire on of the App Bikes, at The Farmstead and Bidwell West, using the App linked here.
Book your place
Places on our coaching sessions are limited, so Becky can attend to everyone taking part. Whilst residents are welcome to arrive on the day, booking is advisable and can be made by directly contacting Becky here.
