10am for beginners
11:30am for Intermediates

ELREC is organising cycling classes which are FREE and OPEN to ALL. We provide bikes and run through exercises and fun games to learn cycling skills in a relaxed environment. The approach is progressive and fun. Feedback from participants has been fantastic so far. We also have access to an indoors space with tea and coffee for breaks. Children are welcome under adult supervision but the number of kids bikes is limited.

Beginners class happens in a safe environment (no cars) and consists in going over the basics:

– Balance
– Mounting and dismounting
– Breaking and Stopping
– Steering
– Changing gears

Intermediate class happens both in a safe environment and in a residential area with low traffic. It consists of going over:

– More advanced games and exercises
– Coordination
– How to be safe on the road
– Signalling, positioning and turning
– Roundabouts

Our aim is to help you go to a level where you can cycle safely on the road and to give you the SKILLS and CONFIDENCE to use your bike more often rather than your car!

If interested, please register your interest to gerry@elrec.org.uk

Hope to see you soon.

Middle Meadow Walk, Edinburgh
Why not join us on a social cycle in to the wilds of East Lothian.

Visiting Queen Margaret University, Cockenzie House, Whitecraigs, Elphinstone and Pencaitland before heading back to Cockenzie then along the coast through Musselburgh Lagoons and the Innocent Railway back to our starting point in the Meadows.

30 miles in all, predominantly off road on good cycle paths with guidance through any onroad or tricky sections. Best suited to Hybrid / MTB.

Breaks and lunch stop will be communicated at the pre ride briefing so please arrive promptly. Likely a picnic lunch so bring your own sustenance with the potential for a coffee stop enroute in the morning and / or afternoon.

Please ensure your bike is safe and road worthy with tyres properly inflated and carry a spare innertube compatible with your bike.

Any questions please add to the comments below, or via the WhatsApp Group.
