Cycle for Health

Cycling UK's Cycle for Health programme improves health and wellbeing by providing a route into regular physical activity, building health and happiness through cycling

What is Cycle for Health?

Our Cycle for Health Course is an eight-week instructor-led course to help you develop bike riding skills, confidence and activity levels through cycle training and led bike rides. The two-hour sessions in groups of no more than 12 people are created especially for adults with physical or emotional health challenges. And it can be a lot of fun.

Riding a bike makes me feel amazing! I struggle walking but cycling, well that has opened up a whole new world!

When I was getting out on my bike, I was getting really, really happy, and it was making me feel a lot better and it’s making me feel more positive about myself.
