Youth Project

Free After-School Cycling Activities for Children in Bristol

Once learnt, cycling is a skill for life - bringing exercise, independence, and boosting mental health. Our Youth Project makes this accessible for everyone - while bringing adventure, friendship and fun! These free drop-in bike sessions take place in Lawrence Hill, Lockleaze, and Southmead.

Join a session!

Drop in to our free sessions at Felix Road, The Vench or The Ranch

Cycle stories

"I like going to the Youth Project because it's good and healthy. It's good for your mental and physical health and is relaxing and calm."

Maysara, 10

"We are so lucky to have Life Cycle’s youth workers at the playground. They really get the ethos of what we do here…for some kids, it’s the only place they can come to learn to ride, or have access to bikes"

Ollie, Felix Road manager
