Taster sessions - the weekly programme

Our Summer programme has 14 Taster sessions per week

An introductory session for beginners. The cost per 1 hour Taster is £11.00 including bike and helmet hire, £8.60 concessions. You will be riding with up to 15 other riders on the track at the same time, for one hour’s duration. You will be given a set of skills to learn by the coach and each rider will be provided with a bike and helmet. The Taster sessions are great fun and are one of the most popular track sessions provided, so whether you want to be the next Sir Chris Hoy or Laura Trott, or just curious to see what it’s like to ride round a banked Velodrome track, this is the session for you. Bring some friends or family for an experience you will never forget. Minimum age 12 yearsfor all Tasters except the Wednesday Taster session which allows Manchester residents 9 years + with a Community membership access to the session at a cost of £2.00, and the Friday Family Taster session which allows 9 years + on the session, but all riders are expected to keep a brisk pace, and there may be more adults than kids on the session! Please book and pay for your session in advance. All participants need to complete a Health Questionnaire in advance of booking.
