    Many thanks to Brian who was an excellent tutor, both for my teen and for me. I think Robert is now much more assured and I’m confident in his abilities. Brian was also really good at supporting me in overcoming my own ridiculous inability to do u-turns.

    I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible job you did in teaching my child how to ride a bike. It’s a milestone we’ve been eagerly anticipating, and your expertise and patience made it a truly memorable experience.

    Here are a few points of feedback I wanted to share:

    Expertise: Your knowledge of cycling and your ability to convey it to a child is truly impressive. You made what seemed like a daunting task into an achievable one.

    Patience: My child can be a bit apprehensive at times, but your calm and patient demeanor... Continue reading

    I attended the cycling course with my daughter earlier today.

    I just wanted to thank-you so much for such an amazing opportunity.

    She is my third child and after teaching the other two to ride I've been really struggling to get her going much to her frustration.

    Lisa and Gavin were so knowledgable and have given her such confidence to try a new approach. I've been filled with useful tips so although she didn't come away riding she is certainly on her way.

    I am very grateful to the both of them and to the service being provided for free.

    My son attended the holiday learn to ride at Tyrrells school today. I was so impressed with the session- great value for money, great instructor: child ratios, really lovely and engaged instructors. My son was a bit nervous beforehand, but the instructors managed to get him relaxed very quickly. He was cycling by himself within 30 mins!

    I'll be recommending you and we will definitely will be back for the more advanced sessions in the future.

    I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the whole Essex County Council Cycle Team, especially Jo and Natalia who were my amazing instructors today. Not only did today help me with the confidence I needed to get back on the road (I will be bike shopping this evening!), the team catered for each member of our group in an incredibly supportive way and this helped created a really fun and enjoyable experience for us all. So much love to your team, you’re all awesome

    Lovely to meet you

    Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the two ladies who taught my daughter Evie to ride her bike last Thursday morning at Broomfield village Hall, especially to Lisa.

    Evie is now proudly riding everywhere she can and I truly believe this is because of them.

    Honestly I'm beyond thankful

    I have been riding my bike for years, something I enjoy doing to keep fit, get around locally and a perfect opportunity to catch up with friends. Chelmsford is a great place to cycle with lots of cycling infrastructure to move around and across town and only minutes from the open B roads taking you into the countryside through out local villages.

    Apart form cycle training at schools, too many years ago to think about, I’ve not had any formal training. With a new job I really felt it was a good time to brush up on my cycling skills... Continue reading
