A good place to start
Confirm which discipline the venue offers before arranging equipment or lessons.
What to compare
- Vehicle type
- Beginner terrain and specialist coaching
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
Something else to discover
BMX
Bike parks and BMX facilities offer purpose-built riding features rather than an ordinary cycle route.
