    Tower Hamlets One to One Cycle Training

    Whether you’re a complete beginner who would like to start cycling, or a regular cyclist looking to increase your confidence to cycle on-roads, we will tailor a session to your needs and what you want to achieve.

    Our trained and experienced Cycle Instructors follow the nationally recognised Bikeability syllabus, starting with an off-road assessment of skills. We can also offer support in planning and riding a route to work or school.

    One-to-one sessions last for 2 hours and can be booked at a time to suit you.
    Unless otherwise agreed, all sessions begin at our Victoria Park Hub or Poplar Chrisp Street Hub. See below for more details.

    Deposit & booking process

    Bikeworks charges a fully refundable £5.00 deposit for each session, which will be returned in full on completion of the session.

    Once your £5.00 deposit has been paid, you will receive an email with a link allowing you to select a time and date for your session. Please note, the blue squares with a time, on the booking calendar, signifies the slot being available.

    Can’t find a slot that suits you? Not to worry! Our Instructors are constantly opening up new slots so please keep a regular eye out on the booking page for a more suited time.

    Cancellation policy: you have up to 2 working days before the session to cancel or reschedule your session with your instructor. After this time we will be unable to refund your deposit or re-schedule your session.

    Iyke Gentles gave me some great insight that I feel has helped me develop my urban cycling ability.

    The booking process was straightforward and easy. The team was responsive to email queries in the lead up to the session. The instructor (Desmond Wilmot) was patient, professional, encouraging, knowledgeable & generally brilliant.

    The session was SO informative, I learnt a very comprehensive set of skills from checking the pressure of my tires to confidently cross roundabouts. Truly amazed by the expertise of Robin, super recommended!
