Join the Blackpool Youth Cycling Association
BYCA is a cycle club for children aged from 8 to 18. The club meets on alternate Saturdays starting on 7th June and continuing through the summer. Meetings begin at 10am and finish at 12 noon, but a coach will be there from 9.30am for registration. Membership is not compulsory but for only £5 per year does have benefits such as reduced subscription and access to member's only events.
Coaching Activities
From basic skills to more advanced techniques, activities will be available to suit riders of all levels. Club trips to local venues, such as BMX tracks or mountain bike trails to further practice these skills will take place. Club rides on the road will be undertaken by suitably trained and competent cyclists.
Directions
The club meets at Stanley Park, Blackpool. Training sessions will take place either on the netball court area next to the clock tower or on the grass nearby. Car parking is available at the Leisure Centre.

Go Ride
Go-Ride cycling activities give under-eighteens the chance to experience the action and excitement of cycle sport through British Cycling's national network of Go-Ride cycling clubs.
Go-RIde clubs aim to be safe, effective and child-friendly, use traffic free facilities, such as school playing fields and playgrounds and have trained coaches that introduce young riders to a range of cycling disciplines, such as Mountain Biking, BMX and Track Riding.
Go-RIde activities are fun, exciting and challenging for newcomers and more experienced riders alike. Young people will learn essential cycling skills that will make them safer, better and faster than their friends.
There's also a Skills Test that challenges even the best riders, so whatever your ability level, you will have a great time!
Go-Ride has its own interactive website, www.go-ride-byca.org.uk where you can find details of your nearest Go-Ride club.
Go-RIde clubs and schools have on-line league tables where you can input and compare your Skills Test times to those of your friends. You can even download personal achievement certificates.
The website also has information on the latest bikes, clothing, features and news on the sport's top stars.
