Cycle Safe & Strong: Cycle Training for Children & Adults in Dulwich!


About Us


We created Cycle Safe & Strong due to the pressing need for more bespoke on and off-road cycle training in London. We are both fully accredited National Standards Cycling Instructors with a strong passion for cycling both as a method of transport but also as a recreational activity. We have a wealth of knowledge and experience in delivering cycle training in London, having coached several hundred individuals. We deliver personalised training sessions to both groups or individuals who wish to develop their cycling skills. We cater for riders of all ages and offer sessions to complete beginners right the way up to very experienced riders. We are also DBS/ CRB-cleared and First Aid trained.


What We Offer


I. Weekend, half-term & holiday group courses for children who are non-riders or those new to cycling

This course covers learning to ride for the first time and bike control skills such as using gears and signaling. The course also covers learning to ride in a group and prepares trainees for riding on the road. This course is run on Sundays (fortnightly) and during holiday periods. Two instructors will always be present for this course.


II. On-road courses for children who are more experienced riders

This course covers how to ride on local roads through teaching trainees about positioning on the road, rules of the road, and how to negotiate junctions and roundabouts. This course includes ?fun rides? to destinations of interest in the local area. Two instructors will always be present for this course.


III. Bespoke 1-to-1 cycle training for both children and adults

This is more personalised training which can include route planning and supported rides to & from work or school. These sessions can also cover basic maintenance skills such as learning to fix punctures and replacing inner tubes.


Please note: Trainees need to bring their own bikes and helmets.

Dear Readers,


We had fantastic first cycling training sessions on Sunday 28th February.


As there are still some remaining places on both training courses, there is still the opportunity to sign up for either session.


Now, in order to qualify for the Beginners Course, riders must already be able to balance and ride a bike.


For those still interested in the on-road course, riders must already have good control skills and be able to signal with either hand. If riders can demonstrate these skills, we will be happy to enrol them on the on-road course.


The next sessions will run this Sunday 13th March (see last post for session times) so please let us know if you are interested.


Best wishes,



Barnaby & Dean

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
