superb facilities for any cyclist, whether MTB, BMX or the velodrome

We started taking our two young sons (two years and four years) to the balance bike sessions at the BMX track at Platt Fields park a couple of months ago. Neither of them knew how to ride a balance bike and my youngest was absolutely terrified.



Fred, James and Sabian were brilliant with them - so patient and caring, and yet also really encouraging.



Each week we’ve been amazed at how far they’ve both come, from literally my youngest refusing to go on the bike and just holding my hand and running around the track, to practically doing the whole track with a massive grin on his face.



The coaches have a great manner with the kids and have taught them so much - turning what can actually be a pretty daunting prospect, into loads of fun, and giving them the confidence to give it a go.



As parents, we’ve also got loads of tips and advice on how we can help our kids learn to ride.



Fred’s always there, whatever the weather - in the pouring rain and recent snow blizzards! You can tell he really cares about all the kids he’s teaching to ride and is so positive and enthusiastic.



My four-year old has just got his first pedal bike without stabilisers and is now tearing around our local park, and it’s all down to the expertise of Fred, James and the other coaches. I want to thank them for everything they’ve done for my kids and I’d really recommend the balance bike sessions to anyone with young kids - it’s been brilliant!

We have recently done both the BMX starter session and a mountain bike lesson (with Pozz) and really enjoyed them both! The centre is a really great facility and the instructors have been really helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!!

We had a great time at our first Taster session, we will be back for more tasters and work up to accreditation. Thanks to all the staff who were very friendly and offered lots of sound advice.

We brought our very nervous son to the skills session. Absolutely loved it and didn't want to stop. A massive thank you to Mitch who was superb from start to finish and had him riding in no time. Highly recommended. Thank you. ���

Such an iconic place to cycle - to summarise my thoughts on having participated on the taster session last night - do this before you die otherwise you haven't lived!

Really enjoyed the taster & accreditation sessions over the past 4 months. The adrenaline from the speed of the track is addictive! Also great cardio. You can rent a Dolan fixed gear bike free of charge and a small fee for renting helmets / cleats. I'm on to the stage 3 accreditation now and the coaches are always there making sure everyone is safe + provide tips on how to improve. The only downside is the tasters are always booked up because it's so popular

Our unofficial club meeting point. Always a pleasure to start and finish our rides with a coffee and chat.

I visited the NCC with our club for a two hour coaching session and I have to say I can not fault it! The staff were helpful and friendly, the facilities are excellent and it was good value for money. I can see myself getting hooked.

I booked the venue for a 2hour taster session for Paramount CRT. We had riders of all abilities attend. From the minute we got onsite nothing was to much trouble and the coaches gave excellent tuition. Great facilities and great fun. All our 31 members can't wait for a return visit.

Had an amazing time at the Velodrome Taster session last night between 7pm - 8pm, I brought my brother (Who had never ridden a road bike before) and my other friend who was experience in cycling. We were given an excellent introduction by the coach who took us through what to do! The session was excellent, all the staff we knowledgable and friendly and it couldn't have been a better session (Apart from being longer!!) I will be recommending this experience to everyone! The only thing I would say is that the booking system could be easier to find!

Had a fantastic two hours on the track last night. First time I've done it, but I loved it!



Our coach was brilliant, he told us everything we needed to know to go from absolute beginners to confident cyclists on the track.



Getting used to the fixie bike was probably the trickiest thing, but once you've got your head round it then the fun really starts.



I'd thoroughly recommend having a go there to anyone interested in cycling.

Had a fab day today first balance bike session with dylan and he loved it.

He has been asking me to drive him back since this week wait till next session will be a long one for him.

Thank you see you next week

Great experience to get on the track and feel like you're flying (until team gb get on track after you and they do some moto pacing) brilliant work by the coaches to get you going! Would recommend to anyone!

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Been to the bmx induction class followed by a 2 hour free ride session and loved it.

Only down side is that the website is hard work and trying to book online is near impossible because my account hasn't been linked and getting through on the phone can be a 10 minute waiting process

Brilliant weekend at NCC in Manchester. Saturday night st Revolution Round 1 - Ed Clancy, Katie Archibald, Eli Barker, Owain Doull and so many other star riders and a special appearance from Laura Trott and Jason Kenny. Great atmosphere and so exciting.

Sunday pm went back for a track session which was just fantastic. If you have never done it then give it a go. It is truly exhilirating. Will be going back again and again.

Attended the National Track Championships at the end of January. The event was amazing. The staff were great at the centre, parking was good and the atmosphere was great.

A great place to visit an a great facility to cater for all types of riders. A place to visit even if you are not a rider.

Unbelievably difficult to register. Contradictory info from reception staff over the week. 2 polite and helpful staff one exceptionally and repeatedly rude (Diane) as was duty manager (Steve) no customer service skills at all. If you can register, get past the rude reception the BMX coaches are awesome!! The session was worth the agro and the kids will return and now in a position to book online and bypass the the rude reception staff.
