Hi all, What with the recent events in London and general frustration with traffic, I'm tempted to take up cycling. In order to placate my worried parents, I'd like to do some sort of proficiency course. However, after looking at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/cycles/safety-...training.shtml, my borough doesn't do one. Is my only resort a commercial training company, and can somebody recommend one? (I can ride, having had a BMX as a kid, but need to learn how to ride safely on the road.) First thing to do is contact the LCC. Give them a phone. http://www.lcc.org.uk Your local LCC group might help with a 'bike buddy' to come along on your route to work for the first few days. That's no substitute for training though. Two companies come to mind: Cycletraining UK http://www.cycletraining.co.uk If you book a lesson, they will send a trainer to your door, or place of work London School of Cycling http://www.londonschoolofcycling.co.uk Several London boroughs fund an hour of training. The information may not be on the DfT website - may we ask which borough you are in? |
