Would-be cylists can take advantage of cut-price training in Kingston.

The sessions, which were previously offered at £25 for one hour’s one-to-one training for beginners, will now cost £5.

Two hours of road riding and advanced road riding training will also be on offer at the subsidised rate.

Nationally-accredited professional instructors offer training seven days a week and a time and place convenient to the cyclist.

Kingston Cyclists co-ordinator Jon Fray said: “The new pricing structure for cycle training is very welcome and brings costs into line with other London boroughs.

“We know the cycle skills training by Kingston is of a very high standard and we would encourage all cyclists to take the time to get some tips and advice on roadcraft.

“After 30 years of cycling I took some further instruction and found it really useful.”

The deal is available to adults who live, work or study in Kingston.
