Made up of Explorers, Network Members and Leaders from around Derbyshire, the Bike Active Support Unit is a team of experienced cyclists offering a range of bike related activities for members aged 8 and upwards. The team offers day long sessions covering a range of cycling activities which can give young people more confidence and inspire them to ride bigger and more challenging routes. With safety equipment and a selection of bikes available, the sessions can make full use of the exciting new mountain bike track located at Drum Hill Campsite or come directly to you.

Each session contains the following elements:
• Safety and Maintenance Sessions
