Cyclist Training Ltd is inspired to increase the number of children and adults able to walk, scoot and cycle more often and more safely whilst also promoting the health benefits participation in active travel can easily bring.

​

Teaching children and adults to ride is a privilege and provides individuals with an opportunity to learn life long skills to be more active and healthy.

​

We appreciate that our team plays a key role in changing the lifestyles and perceptions of young people, individuals in the community and their rates of activity.

​

Just a 15-minute walk or cycle to and from school provides pupils with half of their recommended daily exercise which is why we value teaching early years children pedestrian safety and 7 year olds how to scoot carefully around their local community.

​

As 1 in 3 children will leave primary school overweight or obese it is crucial that together cycle training providers and local authorities work together to promote benefits and reduce barriers which still exist by providing a variety of bespoke activities or through Bikeability Plus funding where available.

​

We are proud that Cyclist Training Ltd is one of the most experienced cycle training providers of Bikeability. For 10 years we have delivered this Department for Transport scheme in six local authorities achieving unprecedented participation and long term, outstanding relationships with schools, children and families.

​

Preventing obesity and managing weight are complex problems with no easy answers. NICE clinical guidelines offer practical recommendations based on evidence including making activity part of family life; walking to school; cycling to shops.

​

CTL supports families, through their children's school sessions or direct support, to reduce sedentary lifestyles and increase activity so more young people benefit from long term physical good health and positive mental wellbeing.

​

Taking students on local bike rides for Staffordshire, Cheshire East and Stoke-on-Trent primary schools since 2010 has enabled many young people to gain more cycle confidence and for pupils to go onto commute to their secondary school.

​

Working in partnership with numerous leisure centres CTL provided a range of active holiday sessions in Cheshire East with Everybody Sports and Recreation, Staffordshire Moorlands, East Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent for children from 5 to 16 offering Learn to Ride Sessions, Family Rides, Scooterbility and Bikeability.
