ELREC Cycling Club

Welcome to the ELREC Edinburgh Cycling Club!

Our classes are completely free and open to everyone. We can provide bikes and helmets, and the sessions are easy-going, social, and full of fun games and activities to help you build skills and confidence at your own pace. We take breaks indoors with tea and coffee, and children are very welcome as long as they’re supervised. If they can bring their own bikes, even better, as our selection is limited.
