The Bike Check & E‑Bike Experience Day is a hands‑on, inclusive event designed to promote confidence, safety and enjoyment in cycling.
Delivered by qualified instructors from the Bicycle Engineering Academy, the event includes two main elements: a basic bike inspection (M‑check) workshop and a supervised e‑bike experience. Participants attend at staggered time slots to ensure smooth flow and appropriate supervision. On arrival, each participant receives a short introduction and safety overview before taking part in a guided M‑check of their own bicycle. This session focuses on key safety components such as tyres, brakes, chain and overall bike condition, and is delivered in a clear, step‑by‑step way, with opportunities to ask questions and carry out checks under supervision.
Participants then have the opportunity to try an e‑bike in a controlled environment. This includes a short induction explaining the controls, safe operation and key differences from a standard bicycle, followed by a supervised test ride in a designated safe area. All activities are delivered with a strong emphasis on safety, accessibility and inclusivity. The event is suitable for a wide range of participants, including beginners, families and those new to cycling or e‑bikes, and aims to build confidence, reduce barriers to cycling and provide an enjoyable and informative experience.
Booking is required.
