This article targets those who are interested in cycling lessons in Nairobi and its environs. Those who can benefit from cycling lessons in Nairobi include both adults and children.

To start cycling, we all must start somewhere. Someone either taught or you taught yourself how to cycle as a child or even as an adult. I learnt to cycle as an adult because I did not have a chance to when I was young. Such is life sometimes.

Therefore, the point here is that every pro-cyclist or anyone who cycles was once a beginner. Through training, they were able to enjoy what they do while on the bike. We can all agree, at least to an extent, that something is liberating when we are on the bike!

Learning to cycle as an adult is a whole different experience.
