Under 18s at WCCC

We want to encourage young people to love cycling from an early age and about a quarter of the Coasters are under 18. Of course it would be great to discover the next Lizzie Deignan or Geraint Thomas, but we're just happy to promote a healthy, sustainable lifestyle!
 We offer a comprehensive range of activities designed to work with parents to help children develop as cyclists whatever their age and ability. Our groups are designed to provide a pathway to develop children of all ages, ability and maturity.
​Please note that there are strict requirements for under 18s participating in each activity. Follow the links for details:

Pre-School (under 5 years)

Our emphasis for this age group is to support parents as they teach their kids to ride and discover the joys of cycling. Parents must supervise and accept full responsibility for their children at all times. 
  • FAMILY RIDES (all ages)
  • READY SET RIDE (1 to 7 years)

Primary School AGE

Our objectives with children in key stages 1 and 2 include learning techniques and skills, experiencing different styles of cycling, and having a go at bike racing.
  • FAMILY RIDES (all ages)
  • READY SET RIDE (1 to 7 years)
  • COASTERS KIDS coaching sessions and introductory rides​ ​(up to Year 6)

Secondary school AGE

Our aim with secondary school age children is to help them engage with cycling as a life-long activity, and to prepare them for joining adult club rides.
  • FAMILY RIDES (all ages)
  • COASTERS ACADEMY (Year 7 and above)
  • Adult CLUB RIDES  over 12s with Club Ride Passes only) and adult COACHING.
  • YOUNG VOLUNTEERS (14 to 18 years)
NB - please note that children may have to be 12 years or older for some activities. This is for legal and insurance reasons beyond our control. We understand that this can be frustrating for 11 year olds in year 7 and we do what we can to accommodate them!
NB: Bikeability
Level 2 Bikeability is a requirement for many of our activities for secondary school children. However, please note that WCCC does not teach Bikeability (the government's national standard of cycle safety). It  is usually delivered through primary schools, but if you require private training, we can recommend Cycle Training Cornwall.

Child protection

​Wadebridge Coasters CC follows British Cycling's guidelines regarding child protection, some of which are reflected in the requirements for participation in different activities. Please contact Jayne Richards our Welfare Officer for further details or if you have any concerns.
