Cycling instruction for adults - free

[louisiana]

I recently completed a couple of free sessions funded by TfL, to update my road skills. (I've been a cyclist since 1974, and have taken my bike to Cuba, but haven't done much London central cycling for more than a couple of decades.)

My instructor was Stewart Vanns, who was really excellent. (You can select a particular instructor on the drop-down menu on the site listed below.)

We ended up doing some fairly challenging routes, to discuss tactics (e.g. 360 degrees around Aldwych in rush hour!) as well as touring some of the newer routes opened up for cyclists that avoid the nastier aspects of SE London roads, getting updated on Highway Code/legal situations, and putting into practice some road positioning approaches to complex junctions. Really worthwhile and highly recommended.

By the end, I felt I'd done the Institute of Advanced Motorists for cyclists, but it was all really quite painless and enjoyable.

This is funded by TfL, apparently (not Southwark).
