My 10 and a half year old son wants to cycle to school.As its about 20years since I have been on a bike I think we should both take lessons! Does anyone know of any group lessons locally?

have a look on the british cycling website and go to the go-ride section - it's got details of clubs and activities for children organised by region - my kids go to a fantastic club in Sutton which has improved their bike-handling skills (and therefore safety) enormously

Goodness! Didn't expect such quick responses! I will contact the school but I wanted to find one I could do with him as I think he's still a bit young to take himself to school on such busy roads-and its about 2 miles.

Does your school organise cycling proficiency courses??? I organise them every year for the year 6s

Our local education authority also run them in the holidays... 2 hours a day for a week, with the test on the Friday

if you google 'cycling proficiency' it should throw up something.

I 30 years ago took it in top year of juniors. Ds's school do it in year 6.

DD1 aged 9 has done this at school this year (5) and will do a further course next year. The lessons happen at school during school time, but parents have to pay, have you asked your school if they do something similar?
