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.
