The AMCA also caters for cycle (bike) trials, having two clubs, running regular events. Cycle trials clubs benefit from the same AMCA insurance for riders and insurers.
Bike Trial is the art and skill of riding your bike over and between obstacles, showing balance and fitness. Ideally not touching the 'section' with anything except the bikes tyres!
Some people ride special 20" wheeled bikes, or even smaller for the younger children. Other people ride 26" mountain bikes, others ride the newish 24" bikes. It really doesn't matter which. The aim is to ride your bike, learn new skills, and make new friends and to enjoy yourself!
Go along to a competition, classes at clubs start with Beginners, Novice, Intermediate, Expert and Elite - self-graded on ability.
If you are interested in running any cycle trials, or interested in competing, please contact the AMCA today for details, or contact of the members clubs via the club search.

How can I start?
This all depends on what discipline you want to start with – some require you to take a licence whilst others are more flexible and allow you to turn up and ride. Once you have opted for a discipline, see the FAQ for more tailored questions.
What is the difference between motocross, enduro, and trials?
These are all different disciplines the AMCA caters for, along with much more. Motocross is fast paced, short races over both natural and man-made terrain with 36 riders going into a first corner. Enduro is more long distance, long duration events, usually through woodland. Trials is slow paced, technical, balance based over challenging short course with the object to go through without putting your foot on the floor.
How old do I have to be?
The AMCA accepts riders from the age of 6 for trials, 7 for motocross, 11 for enduro and supermoto, and 16 for classic scrambles.
