• Becoming a Cycle Trainer

  in National Standard Cycle Training • 14 years, 5 months

  

  Remember that there is a £300 bursary available for training to be a cycle instructor from Cycling England.
  Here:
  www.bikeability.org.uk/professionals/instructor_bursaries.php

  (So whatever training provider you go for, you will get £300 - only covers England though).

  One of the things we (CTUK) are trying to find out is how much funding is left for cycle training. On the neg side there was a finite pot set aside also talk about reaching a saturation point. On the plus side the gov does seem to be saying that you get more bang for your buck when you invest in cycling. The Lib Dem guy Norman Baker talks about cycling and cash on the Guardian podcast here:

• Polo on international co-operatives day?

  It is me! (How did you guess). I was wondering about the phone thing. That's great about Gabes. Just to let you know I've also contacted Matt at the LHBPA and they might be able to help.

  That would be great PF. (I work with skydancer) The court is the multi court one right beside the tennis courts. It has wire around it but I didn't notice if the wire went all the way to the bottom. The surface looked pretty flat to me when I was there. Cheers

  Balki - If you are paying privately , yes we charge an extra £6 - if the riders are of a similar skill level (we call it 'paired riding). If you can though try and go through a subsidised area and get 1:1. You'll get more out of it.

  City - training for £8 (two hours). If you do the training the maintenance courses (day courses) are £8 too .Brent - free training. Hammersmith & Fulham - £5. Waltham Forest - Free. Lambeth - £8. Hackney - free. Haringey - £5. Lewisham - £10

  If you don't live in a funded borough we can offer a fixed gear special offer: 20% off our normal rate - £24 per hour £48 per lesson.
  Best,
