Start2Bike Course

Start2Bike is a cycling course in which you learn everything you need to feel secure on a racing bicycle (a.k.a 'road bike'). The course is very suitable for beginners as well as for more experienced cyclists who want to improve certain cycling skills and techniques. The focus of the training sessions is on basic skills of race cycling: bends, braking, climbing, descends and group safety. In a matter of weeks you will also get to know the Maastricht area a little better. Our experienced trainers can answer all your questions concerning cycling and maintenance of you bike.

This Spring there are two Start2Bike courses you can sign up for: one 4-week course on Tuesdays (starting 8 May 2012, 3 hour sessions) and one 7-week course on Thursday (starting 19 April 2012, 2 hour sessions).

Sign up at the UM SPORT webshop or at the front desk of Sports Centre Randwyck (P. Debyeplein 15).

Start location: Parking lot next to Sports Centre Randwyck
