About

The Bristol Family Cycling Centre opened in Spring 2016, on the site of the former Whitchurch athletics track in Hengrove.

Since then we’ve built a cycle skills training facility, helping people of all ages and abilities to learn to ride a bike in a safe, traffic-free environment, to encourage regular everyday cycling, to improve riders confidence, health and fitness.

Sessions run from Monday to Saturday – 10am – 4pm and prices range up to £5 per person depending on session type.

We offer:

  • Regular Learn to Ride, Open and Disability sessions
  • Bikeability training
  • Children’s cycle coaching and skills sessions
  • Bike maintenance sessions
  • Volunteering and work placement opportunities
  • Changing Places toilet facilities
We accept cash only! Please bring the correct money, if possible.
