Sport Aberdeen’s Community Sport team, in partnership with Aberdeen City Council’s Family Learning team and Sustrans, recently hosted a series of engaging cycling sessions for nine children from the Northfield and Cummings Park areas at the Aulton Cycle Hub. These sessions, which took place over the last three Thursday mornings, were specifically designed for young participants who either had not yet learned to ride a bike or were still building their confidence as cyclists.

With the sun shining brightly on each session, the children made remarkable progress. Many successfully mastered riding without stabilizers, while others are well on their way to doing so with a bit more practice. The positive atmosphere and supportive environment also inspired some of the mothers and Family Learning staff to join in on the fun.

These initiatives, led by Sport Aberdeen’s Community Sport team, not only provided valuable skills to the children but also strengthened the community’s connection to cycling. Sport Aberdeen looks forward to welcoming these new riders and their families to the regular Rock Up & Ride sessions when they resume after the holidays.
