Experiences of Cycle Training

Mmm... if a trainee was riding away from me, I'd ask them to slow down so we could ride together for the session. Were you trying to get away?

Covering your brakes and assertive positioning is good practice though!

Oh I wasn't racing her. And god knows I'm not quick. But she made a point of saying she was slow. I rode at a very relaxed pace but we really didn't do that much road stuff at all tbh. And if it sounded like I didn't appreciate her feedback regarding brakes and positoning - quite the opposite.

The end of the session where she sort of announced that there was nothing more to do was the disappointment. I'm not an amazing cyclist by any stretch, but I think about what I'm doing and can get around town. As I said above, I was pretty clear why I wanted training when I approached Bikeworks at the beginning and also at the beginning of our session. We just weren't compatible that's all. I'm getting Will on the case. It will be just what the doctor ordered no doubt. (Jealous of the Lambeth maintenance lessons too, but I work in Kennington sometimes so I might look into that).
