About the experience
Product ID: 13388
VeloPark has the biggest range of cycling and fitness activities, which makes it the perfect place for any cycling enthusiast - no matter the style. From whizzing around the velodrome, to bike riding for kids, to BMXing and Wattbike sessions, all of which are available in the Athletics Centre. There are plenty of activities to choose from, meaning there is something for everyone, whether you have a lot of experience or are a beginner. Lee Valley is home to world-class venues, including the 250m velodrome that hosted the indoor cycling events for the London 2012 Games. If BMXing is your preferred sport, then you will be pleased to know that there are around five miles of mountain bike trails and a BMX competition standard park too. The first package is 'VeloPark Experience' which allows you to choose from an hour long Velodrome Taster or an hour long Junior Learn To Ride Session. The second package 'VeloPark Experience Plus' allows you to choose from a Two one hour Velodrome & BMX taster, Velodrome Flying Lap, 1:1 VeloStudio Fitness Session or a 1:1 Adult tuition or Junior Learn To Ride for Two children to improve your riding techniques. There is so much to choose from!

Loved my Velodrome experience. Well organised, good bikes, great coaching and small group. I had a really great time.

I thoroughly enjoyed my velodrome experience. Unfortunately, there was one participant who was not sufficiently experienced or confident to cycle the velodrome track and this led to her falling in front of me and causing me to crash heavily. While this was in no way deliberate, I do feel that the safety officer should have explained to this participant that she was not at the required level to ride safely on the track. This would have saved my bruising from which I am still suffering 2 weeks later and her feeling bad for causing the collision. The track should be a great experience for everyone but safety is fundamental to the enjoyment of all.

Great experience

A fantastic taster course. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys cycling. I couldnt believe how much I progressed within 1 hour. By the end I was cycling around the steep banks at the top and buzzing from it. I will be buying this as a gift for others.

We were lucky to have a small group which meant more time whizzing round the track. Excellent instructor, but slightly nerve wracking first couple of times round, then relaxed into it.

Fantastic experience Takes you all the way from the novice steps of starting and stopping on the track to being able to cycle round. The flying lap experience using the track timing system was the icing on the cake
