We launched the Academy in January last year, teaching children from 18 months to 16 years old. We took as many classes online as we could last spring, teaching things like how to change a chain, what to eat and how to pack a kit bag. Even the skill sessions worked really well online and there was a really good uptake on Zoom, particularly from the older kids. Our Academy is about trying to spread the love of cycling. If one of our riders goes on to be an Olympic champion or Grand Tour winner, then brilliant.
