Pickle Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently found out about Cycle Confident, who run cycling lessons which are funded by TFL, and completely free.My eldest two children spent 2 hours in Peckham Rye park yesterday with an instructor, who took them through basic cycle maintenance, safety, signalling etc. One of my children suffered a severe head injury and skull fracture last year (not from cycling!), which has left his confidence shaken when it comes to bikes/scooters or anything that he feels poses a risk of banging his head. After the session he was much happier about riding and controlling his bike, which was great to see.There are a variety of options available, all bookable online here:http://www.cycleconfident.com Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/95027-cycle-confident-free-cycling-lessons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorraineliyanage Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 We used Cycle Confident for free lessons and they are excellent. They also run daily classes through the school holidays - also free of charge at various parks in the area.

Belle Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This sounds great. Do you reckon they'd take a child (7) who still hasn't mastered cycling? Or is the emphasis more on safe cycling once you've learnt the essentials?
