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.

What are your charges for adults, please?

Have just signed my two kids up for this after a biking incident. Barnaby and Dean have provided some great advice already and we are looking forward to the training session.

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
