Evening all. Well, as mentioned above I did do the instructor training course last week. And excellent it was too. I can only reiterate what has been said before; everyone can gain something from cycle training. I've been couriering in London for 17 years so I don't lack any confidence or experience on the road but even so I have adjusted the way I ride as a result of doing the course. I think for experienced riders there are always little tweaks to be made, a different perspective to be seen and areas of under-confidence to be addressed. There is also positive feedback about what you do well.
For less experienced riders, or anyone who has perhaps lost their confidence, I think it would be invaluable.
Being taught last week alongside some people who weren't very experienced, especially in London traffic, made me see realise how much of what I know I take for granted and how useful it would be to have someone go through the basics and on to more advanced techniques at an early stage.
So if anyone is thinking about getting some training I would say do it. CTUK are excellent. And I am available to teach as well. A few people have contacted me already but anyone else who is interested please get in touch to discuss what it is you want to achieve and when and where would be convenient.
