Mark Taylor is a qualified National Standard Cycle Training Instructor. Team Spirit Cycling Camps can also provide an additional programme that will improve any road cyclist or commuter skills and awareness of positioning themselves safely in a simulated road situation. We use the outdoor track at Cardiff where the centre of the track has been redesigned and developed to encourage the education of all children and adults in riding on the road.
Individual students who have not experienced cycling at all can still be included. Team Spirit Cycling Camps Limited will provide a tandem for both students and teachers to experience.
