Cycling Instructors

Recruitment is in full swing with three new trainee instructors ready to take the  National Standard Cycling Instructors course. The training process is made easy with the £300 bursary available to trainee instructors and the nearest training centre only 25 minutes from Swindon. We are still looking for more instructors both full time and part time to fulfil our present commitments and our future goals.

Web Designer

This site needs a little bit of an update, but I just don't have the time or the skills to do a great job which reflects the great training we deliver.

There are now pages for cycling related events in the UK. If you have an event you would like to advertise we will be pleased to add it to our website free of charge. Contact Mail

 The Aims of Cycling Now

The aim of this site is to encourage people of all ages to gain confidence through training to get out on their bike and to enjoy the freedom cycling offers.

So how can you have the freedom to cycle and feel safe?

The appropriate training and practice will enable you to feel safer on the roads as your confidence in sharing the road with others and your ability to control your bike improves.

There are however a couple of knock on effects you need to be aware of.

First you will start to save money, as with cycling there is no road tax(£140), mot (£35 plus), insurance (£130 full comp) or petrol. (Annual cost of a medium size saloon doing 10k miles@30mls/g costing 92 pence/litre is £1,394). There are fewer traffic hold ups. With 78km of cycle tracks in Swindon you never need to be in a traffic jam. Rush hour car speeds for Swindon are about 19 miles per hour.

 Then there is your health, you'll find you have more energy, and you'll feel fitter. You might find yourself wanting to do more things when you come home from work. Research has shown cyclists are 20 times less likely to have heart disease than a non-cyclist and therefore likely to live a few years longer.
