Hello,
just wanted to ask wether anyone has experience with the cycling lessons offered by Southwark council?
I am trying to get my G/F on a bike. I sold her to the idea of a wicker basket and shopping without carrying. Bought her an old Raleigh 20 shopper, and forced her to go around the calm streets outside our house.
While first she had agony in her face and white knuckles from holding onto the handlebar she now gets to a state where she rides more relaxed.
However, as known in most working relationships advice from the partner is not really without negative reaction cough and I wonder wether it's worth to get her some cycling lessons and all that. Has anyone experiences with this sorta thing?
Also, any other tips to raise road confidence and safety would be massively appreciated.
Did anyone of you get someone into cycling? Any useful experiences / interesting stories?
