INTRO New adventurers welcome

Welcome to Adventure Bound

Adventure Bound is a friendly adventure club in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, for young people and adults with exceptionalities. We teach bike skills step by step, so adventurers learn to ride and keep improving. Along the way, they make friends and have loads of fun outdoors.

What we do

Three courses

We follow Adventure For All's Adventure Biking programme. It has three courses: INTRO, LVL UP and BLAST. At Bike Club, adventurers carry on through the courses, at their own pace. Anyone can repeat a course.

  1. Beginner

    INTRO

    Balance, control and braking. Getting mind, body and bike to work together.

    Milestone: Ride a two-wheel bike on your own for 10 to 20 metres, 4 times out of 5.

  2. Intermediate

    LVL UP

    Turning, braking with control, riding around cones and building stamina.

    Milestone: Turn and weave through cones, stop with both brakes, stand and pedal for 10 to 20 metres and ride for 5 minutes without stopping.

  3. Advanced

    BLAST

    Trail riding. Off-road, on changing ground, controlling speed and riding as a group.

    Milestone: Ride trails safely at a steady speed, with good trail manners, talking to the group as you go.

A badge for every skill

Adventurers earn a badge for each skill they learn and their families can see how far they've come.

For parents and carers

We're parents too.

Kelvin and Sarah started Adventure Bound, and they run Bike Club with help from the other parents. Every adventurer goes at their own pace, and you'll be part of a friendly group of families who understand.
