Training Booking

If you've seen one of our demos, videos or photos of us riding, many of you will be inspired to try this for yourself. thinkbikes.com is pleased to offer advanced training as a kick start into the sport, or even just for a fun couple of hours with your friends. With our expert guidance, you can progress much faster and safer than going it alone. The foundation skills of our sport are within the grasps of anyone, using any bike.

If you are interested in starting any bicycle discipline, be it trials, BMX, cross country, down hill or you just want to feel happier riding your bike on the road, then advanced bike handling training is the well informed choice. The more in control of the bike you are, the less likely you are to have an accident and the more confident you will feel. With a little practice you can improve your balance considerably, and start hopping up curbs without fear of puncturing, buckling wheels, or even having to stop and pick up the bike. For those with a good foundation already, we'll push you to the next level!

Learning to do tricks and stunts on any bike can be very dangerous. If you or your children are considering starting a cycling sport - being equipped with the knowledge you need to do it safely is a must if you want an injury free cycling experience. Our sessions are run by trials professionals with over ten years riding experience each and full CRB checks - so you know you are in safe hands.

Our training events can be booked at the location of your choice - we will come to you. Each member of the party must have their own working bike, of any type - however, there will be a small number of trials bikes available to use on the day. Helmets must be worn, and any other safety equipment such as shin pads or gloves are encouraged. There is no minimum age, but each person must be able to ride a bike confidently. This is not a cycling proficiency! We like to think of it as a "proficiency plus".

The sessions last for a minimum of 3 hours and can be done both inside and outside on most terrains. Training is excellent fun, and well suited to birthday parties, stag dos, office team building, or as a great kick start into the sport.

As well as training, you will have the opportunity to try out both 26" and 20" trials bikes, and will be eligible for a 10% discount voucher with our sponsors, tartybikes.co.uk, when purchasing a complete bike.

If you have any queries, or are interested in booking for an event, please get in touch. Why not consider combining a training session with a demonstration?
