Sustainability

As the days are getting longer, there are more reasons to cycle for work or study. One of the barriers to cycling for some is cycling confidence. We know that training can improve your confidence when cycling on the roads and can help you to position yourself correctly on the road and around other vehicles. Even if you’ve cycled for a long time, a one off lesson can help you improve your skills.

The University offers free 1:1 sessions of 2 hours for both staff and students through our delivery partner Outspoken Training, which can be started at a whole range of destinations around the city. The sessions are aimed at all types of cyclists, from those just starting out and hopping on a bike for the first time, through to experienced riders who might be new to the city. There is also bespoke training for cargo bike riders, those with adaptive bikes or electric bikes, and riders wanting specialist advice on riding with a child sitting in their child seat. Book your session online. 

Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what other staff and students at the University have said that they enjoyed most about the training sessions provided by Outspoken? 

  • 'I was very grateful that Nikki was able to teach me about road positioning and adjust my saddle position which has made a huge difference since.'
  • 'The trainer was able understand my problems and come up with solutions.'
  • 'The different riding exercises she made me do and her extensive explaining all of the details really helped.'
  • 'I liked how the session progressed from basics of cycling to more advanced skills, and the instructor's encouragement went a long way!'
