Adult Beginners Classes
Lady learning to ride.
Here is poster for you to print and display. 		These take place on Saturday mornings starting at 9.30 and last two hours. The location is the car park on the east side of Swansea's Civic Centre. Most of our instructors are qualified National Standard Assistant Cycling instructors. The cost is £5.00. This entitles you to one year's free membership of Wheelrights and, if you are not pedalling away at the end of the class, allows you to come again for no extra charge.
For those who have mastered riding and controlling the bike we are offering short rides along the promenade as a first step towards on-road cycling. This can happen during the two hour session, typically after a few confidence gaining circuits of the car park.
If you wish to attend please phone Rhian Evans on 01792 510470 or Allyson Evans on 01792 475521. The classes are on the following Saturdays (This information is repeated on the Events page.):
       12 April,  10 May,  14 June,  19 July,  30 August,  20 September.
