Unfortunately we can't dobulk buy through the online publisher. And aren't geared up yet for managing this from our ofice. When/if we sort this will let you know.

how comes its a US publisher? £3.00 post tax :(
edit- still buying

do they accelerate on 'dozy pedestrian'?

We didn't find any UK based online publisher. If anyone has any suggestions we would definitly move over if it works out cheaper overall to publish in UK. We don't yet have our own online shop at CTUK since up to now we have only sold Cycle Training. Will keep you all updated

do they accelerate on 'dozy pedestrian'?

Because you're not as good at milking it?

Because you're not as good at milking it?

yeah could be that. have tons of games.

heres another one for free then,

get the group to pair up, decide whos leading first,
tell the group that theres a mirror half way across the playground/ yard
start the pairs off at either ends riding toward each other, the follower has to copy the leaders line of direction and movements toward the centre 'mirror', and away again, change leaders,
control skills, riding looking behind,

see I did it again.

Thanks for this book review Jason. Hope you don't mind us quoting you.
And always happy for any constructive feedback so we can improve future editions.

Wow. I should have asked for royalties.

then every time I run it with kids will dedicate it to your sardonic majesty

I took all the photos

whos that dodgy chap with the buff over his face? looks like a badman

he is paul. a ctuk top instrutor and a director. a goodman and ace 4 squares player:-)

I know, only kidding

anyone come across Ann Kenrick?
her book- 'Let me Out' comes well recomended by LCC

I know Ann and I have her book. It's very much aimed at parents of schoolchildren. I can't comment on its suitability for that, not being a parent of schoolchildren, but I've heard good things.

Cycle Training UK has a new book called Teaching New Cyclists.
How to teach someone who has never ridden before.

Available for £5 on Amazon
