Hi all,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place - I did try to UTFS I promise.
Just wondering if anyone knew of somewhere that does basic cycle coaching for adults? I don't mean cycletraining (although I have a lesson lined up with a local borough instructor for riding in traffic) - what I am after is someone who could help me to develop bike handling skills and get a better understanding of stuff like gear selection, pedalling technique.
I know that lots of you guys generally just work this stuff out yourselves by reading about stuff on here or the Sheldon Brown site or youtube videos, etc. I'm just not very good at teaching myself stuff and tend to overthink things - then end up sat at home when I should be out riding a bike!
I've had a look on google but couldn't find much apart from coaching for triathletes and serious racers (which I am definitely not - too fat for that!) I did find this though and wondered if anyone knew of something similar but for road riding:

I've also been on some group rides but feel bad about asking too many questions. Same with clubs too.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!!!! Apologies for any grammatical or spelling errors.
