Free ride leader training with AXA Community Bike Rides
Would you like to lead small, social group rides in your area? AXA Community Bike Rides is offering free training and support for all adults (18yrs+) interested in providing safe group rides in their community.
As an AXA Community Bike Ride Leader, you’ll inspire others to be passionate about cycling. You’ll get the chance to develop your leadership skills and make new friends while improving your own health and fitness. You don’t need to be a cycling expert, just a confident cyclist with lots of enthusiasm to support others! As leader, you get to pick the day, time and distance of all your rides and you get to decide how often you lead.
All leaders are trained and vetted and given access to our online system to create and promote their bike rides. Leaders are provided with free insurance cover for their bike rides; a starter pack of promotional materials and a leader gilet; and can access benefits and rewards for taking part.

For the safety of our tutors and potential leaders, all courses will take place at hotel venues which have been cleaned and sanitised, with the room set-up classroom style and social distancing between all attendees. Rooms will have external opening windows/doors for natural ventilation and attendees will work on an individual basis throughout the day (with the exception of the bike skills assessment and bike ride) to limit the interaction within the group.
Spaces are limited so if you are interested in accessing free training and becoming a leader in your area, please check out https://www.axacommunitybikerides.com/be-a-leader and register your interest here.
