As a National Standard, British Cycling accredited Instructor for Bikeability Levels 1, 2 and 3 I can get anyone riding in a fun and friendly way. I am also a Qualified HSBC UK/British Cycling Level 1 Ride Leader… and also being a British Cycling Level 2 Coach also helps… with plenty of tricks and resources up my sleeve.
I can get your little ones started on a life of two wheeled fun and adventures from mastering balance bikes to proper pedalling to school or for weekend exploring. If they are already riding and need to brush up on their skills/got a new bike, then an hours 1:1 tuition is perfect too.
Kids shouldn’t have all the fun though so I can get you, a friend or a whole gang of pals pedalling too. Whether you’ve never even sat on a bike, you’re just a bit rusty or you want to take your skills and cycling confidence to the next level for commuting, fitness or just fun I can teach you how to ride happily, healthily and safely wherever you want.
Decades as a super keen rider and test consultant to the UK’s best selling bike magazines means I can even help you choose the best equipment, learn how to plan routes that suit your needs and ride them with you if that helps.
I’m fully insured through British Cycling, a qualified Emergency First Aider and have a full and complete Enhanced DBS certificate.
Cycle lessons for kids. Bike lessons for adults. Learn to ride a bike. Cycle tuition. It all boils down to one single word… fun ”

Our holiday clubs are a brilliant way to introduce or progress children’s music and art and craft skills. For children aged 4yrs to 11rs and only £26 per day, with options for early drop off from 8:00am and late pick up to 5:30pm. We also offer a 25% sibling discount and a further discount if you book all 3 days.
Our holiday clubs are held at Inspirations Central, home of Music & Creative Inspirations CIC– Where we have created a bespoke and unique space for creativity to be explored and enjoyed through music, craft and play. They are welcoming, with a family feel, as we keep our numbers low (usually up to just 16 children) and have children from the whole age range, including many siblings.
All our music and craft skills activities are carefully planned around a story and offer something for everyone, whether they are avid crafters, or already play musical instruments or if it is all completely new. Everything the children make they get to take home.
Snacks are provided in the morning and afternoon, so children just need to bring lunch. We are also lucky enough to take our creativity outside to the Inspirations Garden, which we use as much as possible.
