Working With Schools
In October 2008 the Wattbike was launched after 8 years of hard work and has fantastic potential
for schools and colleges...
What makes the Wattbike stand out is its monitor containing accurate data, as well as the authentic
feel of cycling.
No other bike out there gives such detailed feedback, we can also run virtual competition, leagues
and live events. It is the only indoor bike ever to be endorsed by British Cycling and their
coaches and athletes use them on a regular basis. We run virtual competitions - the live-racing
software attracts the full spectrum of students whether sporty or not. It is also great for
cross-curricular learning and for teaching students with learning difficulties.
Friary School, Lichfield - Phil Kelly:
"The big draw for many of the users has been the on screen racing capability; it is so
impressive and easy to use."
In partnership with Lifescycle we offer
Teen Spin for students in our spinning studio focusing on 40 min classes to motivating and fun
music. Students have the opportunity to learn about the spinning programme and benefit from a fun
and challenging workout.
We also offer schools the opportunity to sign up to the Lothian Schools Watt Bike League.
Schools are invited to sign up to the Lothian Wattbike League which allows students from the age of
12 to 16 to race in a safe and fun packed session.
The Watt bikes will all be linked through a laptop, and a huge image showing real-time racing,
projected onto a wall or screen.
The image will show the progress of riders as they race in each event.
Each school will have a breakdown of the racing results with individual scores and ongoing points
tally. The total distance completed by each School will also be totalled and go towards the score
for the overall League placing.
Lifescycle and bdbike coaching can also deliver group spinning classes and live competitions at
your own school, please call for more details.
Please contact us to discuss the packages and training dates
available.
