Discover the Joy of Cycling: Free Open Taster Session at Clancy Briggs Cycling Academy

Are you ready to introduce your child to the joy of cycling or help them take their skills to the next level? Join us on Saturday, 1st February, at our Doncaster Academy for a free open taster session! We've got 3 open sessions for a range of ages and abilities.

At Clancy Briggs Cycling Academy, we are passionate about creating confident, skilled, and enthusiastic cyclists. Co-founded by Olympic Gold Medalist Ed Clancy & former Professional racer Graham Briggs, our academy blends professional expertise with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. What sets us apart is our commitment to fostering a lifelong love of cycling while nurturing important life skills like perseverance, teamwork, and resilience. Our expertly designed sessions cater to all ages and abilities, ensuring that every child can enjoy the thrill of two wheels.

Here’s a rundown of the sessions available during our Doncaster Academy open day:

• 09:00 - 09:45: Pedal Class for Ages 2–6. Perfect for little ones who are just starting out! This session focuses on balance, coordination, and confidence-building in a safe and fun environment.
• 09:45 - 10:30: Pedal Class for Ages 5–9. For children with some cycling experience, this session helps develop fundamental riding skills and boosts their confidence on the bike.
• 10:30 - 11:15:  Pedal Group for Ages 9–16. This session is tailored for more experienced riders, offering challenges that enhance technical skills, speed, and endurance.

Our taster session will take place at the Doncaster Dome cycling track, a state-of-the-art facility designed to support riders of all ages and abilities. The Dome is one of Yorkshire's leading sports and leisure complexes, boasting a well-maintained cycling track that provides a safe and controlled environment for learning and practice. With plenty of space and excellent amenities, the Doncaster Dome is the perfect venue to help young riders develop their skills while having fun.

Cycling is more than just a fun activity—it’s a powerful tool for your child’s physical and emotional development. Regular cycling improves strength, balance, and coordination while promoting cardiovascular health. It also helps build confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment. Riding in group settings, like our academy sessions, encourages social skills, teamwork, and friendships that last beyond the bike.

Spaces for our free taster sessions are limited, so make sure to book your child’s spot today. Whether they’re pedaling for the first time or gearing up for the next big challenge, we’re excited to help them take their cycling journey to new heights.
