Mind Matters NE CIC is proud to deliver free cycling sessions as part of the Big Bike Revival programme. This project helps adults who are not currently cycling, or cycling less than once a month, to get back on their bikes in a supportive, friendly and local environment.

• Led Ride Sessions – explore safe, local routes with our friendly team

• Learn to Ride – supportive sessions to build cycling confidence from scratch

• Bike Hub Access – use of our fleet of adult bikes and helmets based at Benfield Sports Centre

Our cycling sessions are a great way to improve confidence, reduce isolation and build positive daily routines. You don’t need your own bike – just turn up and we’ll take care of the rest.

Our sessions are aimed at adults (18+) living in Newcastle, particularly those from Walker, Byker and the surrounding areas. We welcome people of all abilities and confidence levels.

All sessions take place from our Bike Hub at Benfield Sports Centre, Newcastle upon Tyne. The venue is accessible by public transport and is known as a trusted community hub in the local area.
