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

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
