“Very patient, explained the steps really well. Made the process of learning to cycle easy.”
Latisha
“David has been very encouraging, helpful and a great instructor throughout my cycling journey. From knowing nothing about riding a bike three weeks ago, now I feel confident to cycle. I learnt a lot about changing gears, taking breaks, keeping control of the bike, and navigating smoothly past pedestrians and cyclists. David was very supportive and consistently giving me good feedback, which helped me to improve and feel confident. I literarily don’t know how time passes while I’m practicing my cycling skills. David has been a brilliant instructor throughout and I am so grateful to him for helping me achieve my cycling dream!”
Najiba
“Thank you for teaching me to cycle, your limitless patience, how everything was explained/showed in a way I understood and taking the time to explain why things are done rather than just telling me to do them. You explained things properly and have the highest teaching ethic, which made me feel at ease on the bike, less nervous and built my confidence. It will be a lifelong memory that a super instructor taught me how to ride a bike in my old age.”
Shirley
“The training is a great service. Although I had cycled many years ago, David took the time to take me through some really good basics that I never understood before. I would highly recommend this for anyone thinking of taking up the saddle again. I undertook the training so I can start commuting to work and leave my car at home to help the environment and get healthy and fit. Thank you.”
Ronan
“David was fantastic. I had never even sat on a bike before the course so I could not believe that I would be pedalling independently in session 2. David was calm, knowledgeable, skilful and humorous, and went out of his way to help me. I felt safe throughout and I cannot thank him enough. I wish I had booked the course many years ago.”
Maria
“It’s appreciated that you talked to me instead of just going through the steps. I had more faith in your encouragements than anything else. You are really patient understanding and overall a good teacher.”
Roehkya
“Brilliant instructor, explained & demonstrated easily & perfectly, I would recommend to others.”
Henok
“As a total beginner I had a lot to learn but now feel that I can ride a bike. I have to practice a bit more before venturing out onto the roads but having the lessons has made it possible for me to make a start and figure out what I need to do next. Thank you so much for your patience and motivation.”
Subhra
“I had a great session. It was fun and I learnt loads. I felt so much more confident in looking after my bike. Understanding the gears and how to use my bike. With a few more sessions, I know I will build up confidence to ride on the road. However I do feel that right now I could safely cycle in cycle lanes without worrying I’ll be a danger to myself or others.”
Courtney
“David is an amazing instructor, he immediately put me at ease, his style of teaching worked for me as he explained with examples, and help increased my confidence.”
Samantha
“Thanks for your patience, clear instructions and motivating feedback. I made good progress today and feel more confident about signalling, looking behind me and turning. I really enjoyed the session and will keep working on my cycling skills and confidence!”

“I am so thankful to my instructor for the great experience I had in the cycling learning process. Very encouraging and very good techniques used for me to learn balance and pedalling very quickly.”
Issi
“Thanks ever so much for your guidance, motivation, support and thorough feedback. Thanks for kindling the drive in me to cycle and teaching me all the necessary skills to gain confidence. I really enjoyed cycling around the park and want to practice on the road more. I am so looking forward to our next class. Keep up the excellent work!”

Max
“Thank you for your attentiveness and kindness and very knowledgeable and progressive style in delivering the training. I’m looking forward for the next session, so I can bring my skills learnt today a step forward and confidently know how to ride a bicycle so I can advance and ride on the road.”

Cetisha
“David is a great instructor. He supported me mentally as well as teaching me all the necessary information to feel safe in traffic. He patiently explained the rules over and over again. I am sure that I will now ride safer on the roads. Thank you so much for everything.”
Ozge
“Thank you for an amazing session. I was unsure whether, at my age, I would be able to build enough confidence to take the next step in purchasing a bike and continue practicing to become a safe cycler on the road. Although I am not quite there yet, I have learnt so much in the two hours and really looking forward to the next sessions to further build on my skills.”
