The Bike Check & E Bike Experience Day is a hands on, inclusive event designed to promote confidence, safety and enjoyment in cycling.
\nDelivered by qualified instructors from the Bicycle Engineering Academy, the event includes two main elements:
\n– a basic bike inspection (M-check) workshop and
\n– a supervised e-bike experience.<\/p>\n
Participants attend at staggered time slots to ensure smooth flow and appropriate supervision. On arrival, each participant will receive a short introduction and safety overview before taking part in a guided M-check of their own bicycle. This session focuses on key safety components such as tyres, brakes, chain and overall bike condition, and is delivered in a clear, step by step way, with opportunities to ask questions and carry out checks under supervision.<\/p>\n
Participants then have the opportunity to try an e-bike in a controlled environment. This includes a short induction explaining the controls, safe operation and key differences from a standard bicycle, followed by a supervised test ride in a designated safe area.<\/p>\n
All activities are delivered with a strong emphasis on safety, accessibility and inclusivity. The event is suitable for a wide range of participants, including beginners, families and those new to cycling or e-bikes, and aims to build confidence, reduce barriers to cycling and provide an enjoyable and informative experience.<\/p>\n
Booking required – Booking in advance helps us make sure the right supports and equipment are available.
