Our Aim:
The aim of our junior coaching sessions is to develop all of our young riders and their love of cycling, in a safe and welcoming environment. As well as giving them a better understanding of cycle sport, whilst also helping them to become the best they can be. Our coaching sessions are challenging but above all FUN.
How Do I get Started?
You will need a road worthy mountain bike, an approved cycle helmet, a completed rider information form, in fact you don’t even need to be a member of KLMTB club, just come along and have a go, give it a try and join later if it’s for you.

What Do We Do
Our sessions are aimed at beginners and riders who want to improve their cycling techniques and skills. We teach riders:
- Equipment Safety Checks
- Warm up / Cool Down
- Bike Handling Techniques
- Balance and Coordination
- Mounting / Dismounting
- Pedalling / Braking
- Cornering
- Gear Selection
- Climbing
- Descending
- Group Riding Techniques
- Racing (for fun and competition)
We aim to be supportive and encourage riders to develop and learn at their own pace. These sessions are useful for all bike riders, even if you are not sure about racing it doesn’t matter come along and have a go!
What Should I bring?
A road worthy mountain bike, an approved cycling helmet, appropriate clothing (nothing baggy that might get caught in a wheel or chain), a basic cycling jersey is a good start as well as clothing appropriate for the British weather and a 500ml water bottle (in a bottle cage on the bike if possible). You don’t need an expensive bike though to get started!
New members are always welcome, ideally contact us first at kingslynnmtb@gmail.com before your first session.
