Learning Difficulties

Well, as a person, this is a new area to me. But……as a Cycling Instructor!
So many successes. These children LOVE!! cycling. No, I’m not lumping everyone together. But please don’t assume that cycling is not for your child. Let me assess please. You just never [...]
Absolutely No Excuses!
01 month ago
Wokingham Borough Council are organising lots of cycling events during this summer. In particular, they are running some Cycle Training for Adults sessions in Wokingham. These will run for a couple of hours, with qualified instructors and are aimed at complete beginners, or rusty returners. If [...]
British Summer Time…Ha!
02 months ago
What on earth is going on with our weather this year? I’m sure we’ve had at least one snowflake every single week here in the south since Christmas. Hardly cycling weather, although, there is a plethora of very functional cycling clothing out there. I’m not going to start linking to various [...]
For Cyclists, Spring is here!
02 months ago
This is the first year in this career of mine that I have seen so much activity, so early. I have had many private lessons booked, and schools are trying to squeeze in Bikeability wherever they can. It’s great!! The Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead have taken the decision to invest some of [...]
Respect

A little sad today as I had to ask a young man to leave my Bikeability Course. We tried every way we could possibly think of to reinforce road safety, not just for himself, but also for others. He just didn’t seem to grasp the fact that you cannot ride your BMX with your stomach on your saddle [...]
It’s all in the Planning

I’ve taken advantage of the grotty weather this week and spent the time in my study getting sorted with my planning and paperwork. I’ve updated my Bikeability registration, a yearly requirement of the DfT to make sure we’re all doing things properly. Along with other instructors, we’ve met with [...]
Importance of keeping Warmest
05 months ago
Great day today, but the temperature hardly went above freezing. However, my brave client this morning wanted to go ahead even though she said she was so nervous she was unable to concentrate on any work. She told me she couldn’t ride and was really frightened. But she was great! Pedalling away [...]
Here Comes 2013!
15 months ago
Yes, I’m a little apprehensive. My posts toward the end of last year became few and far between, but only because I got so busy, time was just such a premium.
I know the website isn’t quite working properly at the moment. I’m nagging ‘those that can’ to sort me. Please let me know where you’ve [...]
Over 50′s

In conjunction with Wokingham Borough Council’s SHINE initiative, last week I had the opportunity to work with some ladies who had not cycled for some time. We really enjoyed ourselves. They had their own individual stories to tell for wanting to get back on two wheels. We ran through some [...]
Extremes
01 year ago
Madness………..freezing cold and wrapped up in multiple layers to suncream and buckets worth of water within a week. I love this country and the challenges the weather throws at us.
I had a wonderful week at St. Sebastian’s in Crowthorne. A terrific bunch of kids. St. Sebs is a school on a very [...]
