Winchmore Hill

I started commuting to work in Camden by bicycle in 2011 having not cycled for over 25 years. I enjoyed it so much, I soon joined a local cycle club. The Blue Cycle Training business, based in Enfield, started in 2015 in partnership with a local Bike shop after I taught my 2 children to ride bicycles for the first time. The business has grown from doing 3 or 4 Learn to Ride A Bicycle sessions a month to over 100 a month in the spring and summer months. The Learn to Ride a Bike lessons are normally 1 to 1 but groups sessions with more than 3 children or adults can be arranged with additional instructors. 90% of our customers are riding after their first lesson and often come back for a 2nd lesson to further practice their bike handling skills. The fleet of bicycles available for my lessons have increased to over 70 . These range from Balance bikes and pedal bikes for children as well as a few bikes for Adults. I use Frog bicycles for my lessons as these are some of the lightest bicycles on the market and I have a few that can be hired for a day, week, month or longer. Blue Cycle Training now operates mainly out of Keble School in Winchmore Hill, N21 at the weekends and school holidays though we also have worked in Broxbourne and Barnet. Other cycling activities including balance bikes and cycle skills lessons as well as Park Rides and Learn to Ride a bike on the road lessons. All Instructors are qualified to the National Cycling standard, hold DBS certificates , First Aid trained and have the relevant insurance. Customers have travelled from Enfield, Barnet, Hertfordshire, Camden, Harlow, Broxbourne, Kensington, Canvey Island for our Learn to Ride a Bicycle lessons. Blue Cycle Training have also successfully provided Learn to Ride a Bike sessions in schools located in Barnet and Enfield for children in Years 1 to 4.
