Bikeability has been introduced to help make cycling an everyday activity, an alternative mode of transport, a way to keep healthy and above all, lots of fun! Check out www.bikeability.org.uk or click here for recent news report.

The Cyclewise Training team are all fully qualified 'National Standard Instructors' and are very pleased to be delivering the new National Cycling Award Scheme 'Bikeability'. This scheme is marketed as 'cycling proficiency for the 21st Century' and it certainly does bring the award out of the dark ages! As an accredited centre we are able to give out badges and certificates to all children taking part. All our instructors are passionate about what they do and are extremely happy to be working with the cyclists of the future.

In our first year the 'Cyclewise Academy' has established itself as a dynamic, energetic and professional mountain bike club. Membership now includes 92 young bikers aged from 8 years old through to 18 years old. The Academy is managed by a dedicated volunteer committee, many of whom have their own kids in the club. In the past 12 months they have given their own time and have become fully qualified Trail Cycle Leaders, undertaken a 2 day Outdoor First Aid course and have gained British Cycling approval as a Go-ride club. All Academy members have undertaken child Safeguarding courses and are CRB checked.

Cyclewise Nursery Freewheelers. Cycling fun for the little ones!!!

Our Freewheeler sessions are designed with younger riders in mind to set them off on their cycling journey with the best possible start.

A big hit with nursery schools, playgroups and children's parties, this introductory session teaches children all about balance, steering and stopping, using our own mobile fleet of pedal-free learner bikes.

At Cyclewise Whinlatter, we have a great fleet of Cube bikes (retail £700 each) available for your group to hire, along with some fantastic MTB trails to suit all ages and abilities. We can also provide some of the best MTB guides in the UK so that you get the most out of your activity day at Whinlatter. We have a proud heritage of working with many of the Lake District's finest Outdoor Education Centres and understand the value of the Outdoor Classroom. We believe that with a great venue, quality bikes and experienced / enthusiastic guides, a day at Cyclewise Whinlatter will be one your group will never forget.
