I have been a cycling instructor in Hampshire schools since 1991 and have helped many primary school children gain their Stage 2 Cycle Training certificate (renamed from the original Cycling Proficiency). Following a career in school teaching I decided to undergo Cycling Instructor Training to the National Standard with LifeCycle UK of Bristol.

I am qualified to deliver the National Standard Cycle Training syllabus (being a registered Bikeability Instructor) and to that end I have set up CycleSure Cycle Training as my own freelance business. I also have accreditation by CTC as an Approved Instructor.

I have

• a CRB Enhanced Disclosure
• a certificate in Basic First Aid
• full insurance cover under the CTC Cycle Activity Provider Scheme to deliver on-road Cycle Training
• links with other cyclists in the Winchester area involved in lobbying for improvements to cycling facilities in the locality and promoting the cause of cyclists - I was appointed Winchester City Cycling Champion in 2010.
