help in finding a cycling instructor


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cycling instructor you have used to teach your child to ride a bike?


I'm actually asking for myself as I've decided to bite the bullet and finally learn as an adult having never learnt as a child. Unfortunately I'm very small so can't use your average adult bike which many instructors teach you on so ideally looking for someone who teaches children and adults so I can use one of their children's bikes!


Just to add, I had a free lesson with southwark about a year ago and unfortunately didn't really find it very useful- despite them knowing I was a complete beginner and had never ridden a bike before I think the instructor wasn't really used to dealing with people like me!and the bike they lent to me was far too big for me which of course rendered the whole lesson pretty useless.


Also, I know some people say just get a bike and teach yourself but I'd rather not,so if you have any recommendations for instructors please let me know. Thank you

I've seen Lewisham council out teaching school kids (year 5 or 6) to ride bikes around the Nunhead area. Maybe you could get in touch with them? I guess some of them will be around and maybe not busy over the school holiday period so able to do private work. I think Southwark have a service too as our local school has been doing it recently.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
