Tower Hamlets
Up to four hours of free instructor-led training is available in lessons of one or two hours. We also offer cycle training in pairs (provided both individuals are of a similar cycling standard). Once you’re confident on the road (level 2 standard or above), put your cycling skills into practice with free Bike Buddying sessions (2 hours in total). An instructor will ‘buddy’ you on a useful journey (e.g. home to work) helping you to understand and cycle the safest and most convenient route.
