The temperatures have dropped and the mornings are frosty, but that doesn't mean family cycling has to hibernate! Winter can be one of the most rewarding times for family bike rides. The air is fresh and invigorating!

This weekend, three of our fantastic Bikeability instructors – Josh, Meg, and Pete – cycled through the night (or rather the early hours!) to reach Stonehenge in time for sunrise on the shortest day of the year.

At Pedal Power Training, we're passionate about getting families cycling—whatever the season. Autumn brings gorgeous crisp air, spectacular colours, and the satisfaction of puddle splashing!

Whether you're a parent wanting to give your child a life skill, a school looking to bring quality cycle training to your pupils, an adult who's always wanted to learn, or a family dreaming of cycling adventures together—we're here to help.

Inspiring a lasting love of cycling is the Pedal Power Training goal. Get in touch today to find out about upcoming training sessions, or contact your school to ask about Bikeability.

Mark your calendars! From Monday 13 to Friday 17 October, schools across Southampton, Portsmouth (and beyond) are invited to join in on Cycle to School Week 2025. This initiative, championed by Bikeability, encourages children and their parents or carers to swap the school car run for a bike ride.

Get pedal ready and enjoy all the benefits along the way—saving money, boosting health, and helping the environment.

Cycling truly offers something for everyone - from the simple joy of family time together to the serious benefits of improved fitness and environmental responsibility. At Pedal Power Training, we're passionate about helping individuals and families discover these benefits through safe, confident cycling.

Pedal Power Training's biggest summer yet! Over 600 children learned to cycle through Portsmouth & Southampton's HAF programme this August. From first wobbly pedal strokes to confident cyclists - discover how we're inspiring a lasting love of cycling in young people across our communities.

On Saturday 26 July, the team had a fab afternoon supporting HAF Portsmouth for their community day.

Every child had a brilliant time! Great to see such a well organised and well supported event from Portsmouth City Council.

Something a bit different this morning … we had a lovely message via our website from Tom at the BBC asking if we'd like to be the Mystery Guest on Alun Newman's breakfast show for BBC Radio Solent.

Absolutely, YES we would! This is how it went …

Every year, Bikeability hosts a Celebration of Bikeability Day with a big announcement … who will be the People’s Champion is up to you.

As cycling instructors who've helped countless children learn to ride, we know that having the right size bike makes all the difference. Too large, and your child will struggle with control and confidence. Too small, and they'll find it uncomfortable and limiting.

In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to select the perfect bike for your growing cyclist.
