Douglas Macmillan Hospice has teamed up with Sustrans the Sustainable Transport charity to offer supporters free cycle confidence training sessions, ahead of their Bike Ride on Sunday 18th May.

The two hour session is ideal for less experienced cyclist who can already ride but lack confidence when cycling on busy roads.

This will include riding on quiet roads, overtaking manoeuvres, progressing to quieter roundabouts and indicating left and right.

Liz Clarke, Head of Fundraising commented,

“We would like to thank Sustrans for teaming up with us for this fantastic partnership ahead of our Bike Ride on Sunday 18th May.

“This training is ideal for supporters undertaking our 10 mile local route for the Bike Ride.”
