Fairlands Cycling Club


A new cycling club for children offering led rides, fun skills and cycling practice is being launched in Stevenage.

Club sessions will run on Friday evenings from 6pm until 7:30pm each week. We will meet at Stevenage Cycling Hub in Fairlands Valley Park. Activities will be offered to suit the ages and abilities of the riders and may include practice to improve bike handling, cycling fitness and fun races. Our coaches have several years’ experience working with young riders and are all qualified to teach cycling through British Cycling or the Bikeability Trust.

The club will be open for children aged from 6 up to 14 years who have some level of cycling ability.

Children need to be able to cycle to Bikeability level 1 standard or have attended an assessment session such as one of the Stevenage Cycling Hub's Fun Skills courses or a club induction workshop.

During the sessions, parents/carers may drop off their children and collect afterwards, however, for the skills sessions, we encourage parents to stay.

We will be starting the club by organising two taster courses followed by an ‘open house’ event where will officially launch the club and open membership.

Our taster courses will be listed below and the free launch event will be held on 25th October. The cost to attend one of the taster courses is £12 per child.

We will hold a free club induction workshop on Friday 4th October for you to find out more information and for your child to have an informal assessment of their ability prior to joining the taster session or signing up for the club.

As a special offer, each child signing up for membership during the launch event will receive a free set of cycle lights.

The club has negotiated a special rate with Stevenage Cycling Hub of £3 per session to hire a bike. They have a limited number of cycles in each size so please ensure you book yours in advance at the time of booking onto the taster courses.

Club sessions will cost £6 per child/per session and fees are payable at the start of each term.

If you would like to come along to one of the taster sessions, please sign up below.
