I have been an instructor with the Hampshire County Council Cycle Training Scheme 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 now qualified to deliver the
National Standard Cycle Training syllabus (also known as Bikeability) and to that end I have set up
CycleSure Cycle Training as my own freelance business.
I have
- accreditation by CTC as an Approved Instructor
- 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.
