We have a team of qualified female instructors offering free 1-to-1 or small group cycle lessons in the boroughs where our Cycle Sisters groups operate.
Most other London boroughs also offer free cycle training as do some local authorities outside London so check your local council website (you may be able to request a female instructor).
We deliver Bikeability, the national cycle training programme, which helps you work towards developing skills and confidence for cycling on the roads. Whether you are a complete beginner who can't yet balance, or a regular cyclist looking to improve your skills, the sessions are tailored to your individual abilities and goals - there is something for everyone!

“They helped me to cycle - as a full grown adult it can be embarrassing to get up and learn. No judgement, lots of patience and kindness, and guess what - I can now pedal and balance!” Rabia
