Autumn Cycling

October Holidays Cycling Club

Following the success of our first Summer Holidays Club, we are pleased to bring back a session for the October break.

The three-hour session includes:

  • Learn to Ride lessons for complete beginners

  • Cycling skills development workshops (for those who can pedal) to grow confidence and control

  • Guided group rides, tailored to participants’ abilities, pace and energy

  • Healthy snacks provided to rest, recharge, and get to know each other

What’s involved?

We’re offering sessions tailored to age groups so every child can learn and develop at their own pace along likeminded peers:

  • Ages 6–8

  • Ages 9–11

  • Teen girls aged 12–16

Whether your child is learning how to pedal, ready for their first ride or eager to build on their skills, we’ve got a group that fits.

  • All sessions will run from our Women on Wheels Hub in Govanhill. The address is Govanhill Workspace, Unit 6, 69 Dixon Road, Glasgow, G42 8AT. We’ll be using our cycle training space and local Southside Parks. Drop off and pick up will be from our hub. Drop off 9.45am, pick up at 1pm.

  • We want everyone to be able to take part. This session costs £10 per child/young person. Should the £10 fee be a barrier, please get in touch on families@womenonwheels.org.uk.

  • We will provide healthy snacks to keep the kids and teen girls energised throughout the session. Please note we are not providing breakfast and lunch.

    • Just bring yourselves!

    • We can provide bikes, helmets, and safety gear

    • If you'd prefer to bring their own bike, that's absolutely fine—just make sure it’s in good working order

    • Water bottle

  • No prior cycling experience is needed—we provide the encouragement and equipment to help everyone feel safe and supported.

    We also support kids and teen girls who already know how to cycle and challenge them to progress their skills.

This session is a brilliant way to spend time outdoors over the October holidays - have fun, meet new friends, learn new skills, and experience  the freedom of cycling.
