School’s Out for Summer!
And just like that, our summer term of youth coaching sessions has come to an end! With the kids off on their summer holidays, our regular weekly sessions are now on pause so everyone can enjoy a well-deserved break.
-
When We Return: Sessions will resume this September (exact dates and booking details will be shared soon).
A massive thank you to all our young riders for their hard work and progress this term, as well as to our dedicated coaches and volunteers. Have a fantastic summer—and keep on riding!
Bike Security Marking in Leigh Woods
Our group ride through Leigh Woods in Abbots Leigh had a great bonus today! We met up with local PCSOs from the Neighbourhood Policing team, who helped members mark and log their bikes into the national security database.
Having your bike marked makes it much easier for police to identify and return it to you if it’s ever lost or stolen.
Missed the session? You can register your bike for free anytime at BikeRegister.com or keep an eye out for future community police events!
