Bike for Life in Belfast

Bike for Life
A wheely good experience!

Report on The H.E.A.R.T. Project’s first Bike for Life Programme.

Facilitated by Bike for Life Leaders Ann Pendleton & Siobhán Skates

The target audience for our first Bike for Life course, was a group of older ladies. While these ladies are generally pretty active, they had little or no experience of riding a bicycle.

Some hadn’t ridden since childhood (over 60 years), some hadn’t ridden at all.

We soon realised we would need to adapt our session plans to include more basic skills. Lawrence from Cycling Ireland emailed the Sprocket Rocket programme which gave us some really useful ideas to include.
