🌟 Why We Created the Academy
At Booty Butter, we've met thousands of cyclists. One thing we've learned is that everyone starts somewhere. Nobody begins knowing everything. Every experienced rider was once nervous about clipping in, riding in traffic or tackling their first long ride. That's why we created the Booty Butter Academy. To help make cycling simpler, more enjoyable and more accessible for everyone.
🎓 How the Academy Works
The Booty Butter Academy is divided into four exciting phases:
🩷 Phase 1 – Comfort & Confidence
Build strong foundations for enjoyable riding.
🚴 Phase 2 – Becoming a Smarter Rider
Learn practical skills and become a more capable cyclist.
🏁 Phase 3 – Ride Further
Prepare for longer rides and cycling events.
🌟 Phase 4 – Ride Like a Pro
Master advanced skills and graduate with confidence. Each phase finishes with a fun Knowledge Check before you move on to the next stage.
💗 You're Part of the Team Now
One of the best things about cycling is the community. Cyclists encourage each other. Celebrate each other's achievements. Help each other through tough rides. And always have time for a coffee afterwards! As part of the Booty Butter Academy, you're now part of our cycling family. We can't wait to share this journey with you.
⭐ Coach Booty's Tip
Don't worry about being fast. Don't compare yourself to other riders. Just keep showing up. Every ride makes you stronger, smarter and more confident than the last. Progress is measured one pedal stroke at a time.
🎯 This Week's Challenge

💗 Remember
Every cyclist has a first ride. Every cyclist has a first hill. Every cyclist has a first event. Every cyclist has a first victory. Today is the beginning of yours.
