Good to see a group of young children Learning how to stay safe on their Bycycles


Being instructed by adult superviser on Ulverscroft / Whateley rd. what seems, how to approach

and turn right at potentially dangerous T-Juncton.


Children need to have the experience that they cannot get in the Park.


All wearing Hi-Vis and Helmets..


All Kids need this to help them stay safe

Not talking about official training - it's the parents with toddlers that make me think....WTF?

Excellent - creating the new generation of cyclists - after a gap of at least one generation blinded by the myths of universal freedom createdby the car.

I often see Cycling proficiency training going on around Herne Hill - must be a course offered from the Velodrome? Schools used to offer the scheme, but alas it seems that has been dropped.


I took my CPS Test in year 5 and shall be booking my daughter onto the herne hill course in the easter or summer holidays. Essential road awareness training.

Southwark residents can apply for free lessons through cycle instructor

For Southwark, I think the children need to be 9 and above. Check out the website.

Stewart Vanns who also works in Collaboration with SNUB on our Bike projects is an instructor for cycling instructor.

Good luck

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).

    • What ridiculous waste of money
