Junior Section - About Go-Ride
Go-Ride integrates club development, coaching activities, youth participation and talent
identification programmes for young people into one single programme, which
supports the creation of a network of school and community based cycling clubs
that are trained, resourced and skilled to meet the challenge of integrating
young people into a recognised club structure. Go-Ride facilitates the delivery
of school and community based cycling opportunities for young people and the
development of local partnerships with a shared vision of more young people,
more active, more often in cycling. The success of Go-Ride is dependent upon a
partnership between British Cycling, clubs, schools, local authorities,
voluntary organisations and commercial operators.
Who is it for?
Go-Ride coaching activities have been designed to introduce young people to a
range of cycling disciplines such as mountain biking, BMX and Track Riding. So
whatever your age or ability you will have a great time. All of the activities
can be adapted to make them easier or harder, so whether you are a beginner or
an expert, Go-Ride promises to be fun, exciting and challenging for everyone
involved. Go-Ride includes a programme of fun coaching activities delivered in a
safe environment. Go-Ride Gears 1 and 2 teach generic bike handling skills to
6-12 year old children using a variety of fun games and activities, delivered at
a traffic free facility. Gears 1 and 2 culminate in a skills test. Go-Ride Gears
3 and 4 focus on 12-18 year old riders participating in multi-disciplinary
cycling skills sessions through to discipline specific coaching delivered at
discipline specific facilities.
