‘I really enjoyed the course… Putting the theory into practice in realistic scenarios and being able to repeat - this solidified the theory, highlighted the potential risks and pitfalls and for me, reinforced the responsibilities of ride leaders.’

This road cycle training was a game changer and really helped me to ditch the car and progress to using my bike to get to work.
