Roll up to Baltic Square with the whole family. Our expert Cycling Leaders from North East Young Dads & Lads have set up a fun skills track with bikes for every age - balance bikes for under-5s, children's bikes, and adult options too.
Practice your skills, navigate cone courses, and enjoy activities designed for the whole family. Never ridden before or rusty on two wheels? No worries—our friendly leaders will help everyone feel confident.
Bonus: Bring your own bike for a free health check with the Recyke y'Bike team! Their "Dr Bike" service covers gears, brakes, and minor adjustments. If bigger repairs are needed, they'll guide you on next steps.
No booking required—just turn up ready to pedal!
