Cycle training
Whether you are an experienced cyclist or 
complete beginner, brushing up on or learning new skills is always a good thing.
We offer free cycle training, through our training partner Cycle Confident, to anybody who lives, works or studies in the borough of Waltham Forest, giving you the skills you need to cycle.
“I really can't rate this highly enough. I've told everyone I know to sign up. Jon was absolutely brilliant. Really put me at ease and at no point did I feel scared or like I was embarrassingly terrible at cycling. Jon
has helped me to get over a lifelong fear of, and frustration with, cycling. Thanks so much for making these courses available.” 2018
Training for adults
Cycle training can be done one-to-one or in groups.
What to expect
- We will assign you a personal trainer who can meet you at your home, place of work or study.
- They will take you to a nearby quiet space where you will go over the basics before heading out on to the road.
- You can have as many lessons as you need to get road confident and the instructor can cycle with you on a route you do or would like to do.
Cycle training for children
Children can take cycle training lessons individually from the age of seven. Similar to adult training we can organise this for groups as well so children can learn with their friends. We also provide training sessions at primary schools who are signed up to the TfL STARS programme.
Family friendly training
Our family cycle training is a great way to have a family day out whilst learning new skills. The family cycle training is available for children aged 4+ and their parents. This training applies to standard bikes as well as people interested in trying a cargo bike.
