Go-Ride - is British Cycling's development programme for young people in the sport of cycling in a traffic free environment.  The sessions are run by British Cycling trained coaches. They will commence with basic bike handling skills in a fun and safe way in a traffic free environment and progress through other skills e.g., braking, cornering, using gears as well as knowing how to check over a bike to make sure it is safe.  Each session will be 75 minutes long and will start at 1045.
