Our Mission
Our Mission
Bury Bike Skillz aims to make cycling fun!
It doesnt matter what your ability or fitness, everyone has a different start point.
We make sure your bikes are safe and comfortable. Poor bike position can cause lots of problems.
Many people worry about cycling on roads in traffic or getting up Burys' hills and slopes. When you first start it’s normal to get off and push, nothing to worry about. Everyone feels a little nervous at first.
Riding slowly is a good start, you soon get fitter and faster.
Riding on roads is easier in a group, with easy tactics to avoid feeling intimidated by traffic.
