Free cycle training courses are being run for adults in April, provided by Oxford City Council and County Council.

Training in Bikeability levels 1 and 2 is open to all local adult residents free of charge. Levels 1 and 2 are ideal for nervous cyclists wanting to gain confidence: you will learn to control and master your bike in an environment away from traffic and then get out on the roads in Oxford.

The training sessions will take place in a range of venues across Oxford:

• 15 April, Cutteslowe Community Centre, Wren Road, 9am-12.30pm
• 16 April, West Oxford Community Centre, Botley Road, 9am-12.30pm
• 19 April, South Oxford, Bertie Place, 9am-12.30pm
• 29 April, Cowley Marsh, off Marsh Road, 9am-12.30pm
• 30 April, West Oxford Community Centre, Botley Road, 9am-12pm
