Hi all, I'm Kate, I'm currently working for Bikeworks in Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest, as well as for Hackney council and a couple of schools directly in East London, and doing the odd bit for Islington and Camden councils.
Over the past few weeks alone I've worked with kids aged 7-17, students, mums, PCT referrals, you name it.
I've done some volunterring on Sustrans' Bike It and a couple of community projects, including one for young adults with learning disabilities.
Training adults is especially bvrilliant as they respond very well to the logic the National Standards are based on- just a couple of hours is usually enough to impart a good understanding of basic skills and concepts (position, communication and awareness) that are universally useful and important.
