Home About Us Our Team School training Holiday courses Family training Adult
training Learn to Ride Contact 2 / 10 Wheely Fun Wheels has gathered an
experienced team of locally based National Standard Cycling instructors who are
keen to promote the use of bicycles as every day transport. Amongst our group of
instructors we have qualified bike mechanics, ‘Breeze’ leaders, British Cycling
coaches and experience of working with disabilities. Our Bikeability instructors
also deliver our balance bike programme and adult cycle training. Our sister
company Inclusive Pedals CIC is a social enterprise delivering many community
cycling initiatives (Dr Bike, Adapted Cycling, Cycling Without Age & 'Couch to
10 Miles') with the same staff involved as well as a team of volunteers. Wheely
Fun Wheels Ltd is based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The business is run by
Alastair Meikle who was raised in Chesterfield and after leaving school spent 30
years working for the Civil Aviation Authority and National Air Traffic
Services. One of a very few people who regularly cycled to work at the London
Air Traffic Control Centre! Following his decision to leave air traffic control
he spent a year touring Europe in a motorhome with his family and bicycles
before relocating back to Chesterfield and starting Wheely Fun Wheels. Alastair
was the winner of the national Modeshift award in 2017 'Individual Contribution
to Sustainable Travel' and in 2019 delivered practical training workshops at the
national Bikeability conference. Whilst we are often on our bikes for our daily
transport needs most of us also tour on our bikes, do the occasional race and
take part in sportives, one of our instructors organises long distance rides in
the Peak District. Instructors are members of Chesterfield Cycle Campaign. Check
out local cycling maps and route suggestions on their website. However you
engage with us you will find us friendly and adaptable to your needs.
