FREE Cycle Training Sessions
About this event

So you dust off the bike, jump back on and then you realise the roads have changed since you learnt to ride. Why not book a refresher session with one of our instructors to boost your confidence.
Come along to a Cycle Confidence session where we can build up your skills on the bike. We will start off road in a car park to ensure you have good bike control and can comfortably steer, brake, signal and use the gears. Depending on the group we may venture out onto some quiet roads to cover basic cycle training skills such as overtaking parked cars and turning at junctions.
These sessions are for people aged 16 years and older only.
Attendees are required to bring their own bicycle with them for use during the session.
The training will start in in the car park by the Enterprise 1 building on the Frenchay campus.
Attendees should use the North Entrance to access the cycle training. If you are using a Sat Nav the postcode is BS34 8QZ.

Seed Swap – how does it work?
On the Seed Swap table, the seeds are placed in boxes by type of seed, eg annual flowers, wildflowers, perennial flowers, and vegetable seeds as brassicas, roots, peas, and beans etc. If you have seeds to donate, just place them in the appropriate box. Help yourself to the seeds you would like to take. If you haven’t any seeds to donate, then feel free to help yourself to seeds and then give a donation in the bowl on the table.
If you are bringing seeds they can be part or full packets. Make sure they are still in date. If they are seeds you have collected yourself, note the type of seed and date collected on the envelope or packet.
Plant swap – how does it work
This is a good time of year to split perennials and dig out excess plants from the garden. Why not put them in a plant pot and bring them along to swap? The plant swap works just like the seed swap. You bring along plants that you want to share and take away plants that you would like to grow. If you would like to take plants, but have no plants to share, please make a donation to the bowl on the plant table.
It’s a good idea to label the plant and add any useful information such as the conditions best for the plant.
Donations will go towards the costs of the event.

Helping with apple pressing
Clearing up at the end of the afternoon
