Everyone remembers the first time they learnt to ride a bike and our provider, Outspoken, ensures this starts a lifelong love of cycling.

This training is aimed at pupils who are unable to cycle. The sessions motivate pupils to master the skills of balance, control and pedalling.

All courses are run by first aid and safeguarding trained National Standard Instructors. The course is one hour long.

Participants will need to provide their own cycle, helmet and a drink. This course is fully funded so there is no cost to you. Spaces are limited - book now to avoid disappointment.

Come down to The Cycling Hub on Sunday 3rd or Saturday 9th August to drop off your old or unwanted bike so that we can recycle and pass it on to someone who needs transport to get to work or school, or maybe just to get some exercise and fresh air.

Please complete the form to select a time to drop your bike(s) off.

Schools are encouraged to take part in our new challenge ‘Walktober’. A prize bag will be supplied along with a PowerPoint launching the challenge. Each day as pupils travel sustainably, they are issued with a ticket, and at the end of the week there is a draw for the prize bag containing lots of sustainable travel goodies.  Contact Travel Choices for more information.

Our main operators are Stagecoach, Arriva, Centrebus and Grant Palmer who work closely with Central Bedfordshire to deliver services both on the commercial and supported networks. There are many special travel deals available.

Working with our partners at Luton and Bedford Borough councils, we are again running the Days Out By Bus campaign this summer, and have produced a guide to the many brilliant places to visit around the area (PDF), from zoos and farms to historic houses and museums, with details of how to get to them by bus. If you’re feeling energetic, the guide also includes swimming pools, countryside walks and country parks. We’ve even been able to negotiate special discounts at some of the attractions for visitors arriving by bus.

Schools are invited to take part in this two-week virtual challenge where pupils’ active travel journeys are recorded as virtual miles to Santa in Lapland. We can issue schools with a PowerPoint presentation, and a prize scooter to be presented on the last day of term in assembly. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Contact Travel Choices for more information.
