Independent Cycle Training UK is a new, dynamic, community interest company, aiming to radically improve cycle training in London.

Our aim is to empower everyone to cycle – from complete beginners to seasoned commuters.

We are a team of friendly, enthusiastic professional cycling instructors and mechanics.

We work in local, self-managed hubs – closely involved in all aspects of cycling in our local communities.

We are a registered Bikeability provider. We offer training cycle training for children and adults, as well as Dr Bikes and cycle maintenance courses.

Cycle Training in schools
We offer several progressive courses:

• Learn to Ride
  Fundamental control skills
• Bikeability Level 1
  Developing the skills of those who can already ride a bicycle.
• Bikeability Level 2
  Introduction to cycling on the road and application of key skills.
• Bikeability Level 3
  Applying Level 2 skills to more complex and challenging roads.
• Whole School Cycle Training
  An all-inclusive programme reaching all school pupils and teachers. We come into school each week and teach everyone to ride.

Community Cycling

• Cycling for beginners:

  Cycle Skills sessions range from improvement of control to road skills for commuting.
• Family Cycle Skills
  Similar to Cycle Skills, usually run over two x 90 minute sessions.

A basic introduction to the mechanics of the cycle and how to adjust and repair it.

Dr Bike Sessions
Our qualified mechanics do safety checks and minor repairs and adjustments for the public or staff on behalf of local councils and other organisations.

David has been very encouraging, helpful and a great instructor throughout my cycling journey.

---

Professional, friendly and patient at all times. Flexible with the teachers and children’s timetables and we really enjoyed them being around. The encouragement and professionalism was noticed by all.

---

Ben was great and the staff came out of the training buzzing, saying how awesome it was and that they think that so many more pupils could ride bikes than they ever thought possible!

---

Very encouraging and very good techniques used for me to learn balance and pedalling very quickly.

---

Invaluable sessions with friendly and approachable facilitators, which increased my self-confidence in bike maintenance. My knowledge has vastly expanded.

---

The sessions were run in a very friendly manner, so that we were immediately relaxed and everyone seemed at ease to ask questions in front of the rest of the group.

---

It was immediately obvious that the instructors, Jon & Rachel, were both very experienced and enthusiastic about cycling and cycle maintenance – and so the whole sessions were very engaging.

---

Limitless patience – everything was explained in a way I understood.
