B-BUDDIES provides many different forms of cycle training for all ages and abilities as well as different groups.
Each session is carefully designed to help individuals progress at their own speed.
A lot of thought has gone into the planning of our sessions to ensure that it is not only helping riders progress with their cycling but also with other skills such as confidence, co-ordination and making friends.
Having registered with Bikeability in April 2017, and Bikeability Plus since, we know our policies procedures and risk assessments are up to date, whilst our instructors have been delivering these for a lot longer.
The below can be delivered to schools, playgroups, workplaces, after school clubs and groups.
Age 18 months to 5 years
During our balance bike sessions children can learn how to balance on two wheels as well as brake, steer and other skills. We dont just put cones out, we have many different bits of large equipment including ramps, limbo poles, planks, boardwalks and much more including a mini traffic light and zebra crossing set. Sessions do include road safety elements that are specific for the age range that we are working with. Through many different games and activities there is always something to keep them progressing.

Forget those stabilisers and get pedalling whilst having fun and learning skills along the way with our learn to ride sessions.
Whether the riders are complete beginners, want to ditch the stabilisers or after some more confidence, we can help. Through our many different methods we can work with any age and any ability. Riders leave our learn to ride sessions with great confidence, safety knowledge and skill, not forgetting the all important goal that they have achieved. A lot of the time riders work well within a group for various reason which is why having b-buddies to instruct is the more exciting way to learn to ride. Adults this is for you too!

Bikeability is today’s cycle training programme. It’s like cycling proficiency, but better! It’s the UK’s government cycle education programme designed to give more children and adults the skills and confidence to ride more safely, more often. Bikeability is a progressive programme in which trainees first master bike handling skills in a traffic-free environment (Level 1), then develop skills and confidence to cycle on local roads and simple junctions (Level 2), before tackling often busier, multi-lane roads and complex junctions (Level 3). Additional ‘Bikeability Plus modules aim to increase the take up of Bikeability training and its impact on children and adult’s cycling.
Age 10+
There's nothing better than being outside in the fresh air surrounded by nature and greenery for a healthy wellbeing. Cycling has been proven to significantly improve physical and mental health for both children and adults. Arranging a group ride led by our experienced instructors and ride leaders can be a fantastic way to encourage team building and socialising.
Our Cycle Hubs contain all of the cycling related information you need for your local area as well as FREE bike checks and minor repairs with advice on buying a bike, servicing and repair bookings.
Mechanics, coaches and instructors will be on hand to check over your bikes and repair anything that can be done there and then. If there is further work to be done he can book your bike into his workshop.
We also have with us information for not only all of our sessions and events but everything else that is going on within the area that you can get involved in.
