Cycle Southend run Bikeability courses.
Bikeability are lessons that will help you have even more fun on your bike and teach you important road skills.
They're really important and will help you learn all the basics you need to get the most out of your ride.
You can then enjoy riding on roads with friends.
The three levels of Bikeability will teach you how to stay safe and give you all the skills and confidence you need to get out and about on your bike.
