The best 3 days 5Star review My daughters were so happy to be a part of the Cycle camp. They learned how to ride a bike in 3 days which was surprising. Thank you Peter & Helen for being patient and kind to the children.

Learn to ride 5Star review My 8 year old son had never cycled before this morning attending Peter’s session, in just 2 hours he was fully confident riding. Would highly recommend. Thank you Blue Cycle.

5Star review My second child came today to learn to ride age 4 and nailed it in one lesson. I came back as my first son learnt to ride so fast as well. The teachers are attentive, kind, encouraging and just have the skills to get the kids riding! Something we couldnt do. Thanks very much!

Cycling within the first lesson! 5Star review Our daughter had really struggled with learning to ride a bicycle; whenever we would try and let go off her and the bike she would immediately hit the breaks. At the age of 10 she felt left behind in relation to her peers. We booked blue cycle training very easily and within the very first lesson our daughter went from not cycling at all, to cycling without any wobbles! After 3 additional lessons her confidence is great and she cycles well! Pete and Helen have been amazing and we highly recommend blue cycle training to any adult or child wishing to learn to cycle!

5Star review Fantastic! Can’t believe my son was riding after only 45 minutes. Couldn’t recommend strongly enough!

5Star review Fantastic - highly recommend. Got my son cycling within 15 minutes of the start of the class. Very friendly. Got all the kit. Will take our youngest when the time comes!

Comment graphicAlice Childs  16 Sep 2023

Fantastic! 5Star review Can’t recommend Peter and his team highly enough. They were incredibly kind and patient with both our kids and, by the end of each lesson, both were riding independently. Huge thanks.

5Star review To be quite honest, we went in with zero expectation as we were losing hope and thought any help would be beneficial. It has taken 3 years for our little one transitioning from a balance bike to a pedal bike with and without stabilisers as it all just went haywire when she got into her pedal bike. Peter was calm, relaxed and made our 6 yo daughter at ease almost instantly. We couldn't believe it when she was pedalling independently in less than 30 min, and toward the end of the lesson she was whizzing around very comfortably. This was more than we could ever expect. Thank you Peter, you are a magician (in the words of the older brother) and have saved my husband's back.

💯 Success! 5Star review My son (6) learnt to ride his bike in 10mins! Peter quickly and effectively showed him how to do it in a way that I had not been able to do myself. He had lots of great tips to make things easier and really instilled confidence.

Comment graphicClare  4 Sep 2023

Fantastic results! 5Star review Peter and Helen taught both our girls to ride from stabilisers to confident riders in 1 lesson. Both aged 5 at the time, they left their first lesson riding. The second lesson was for them to gain confidence in braking and pushing off. After seeing such great results, Peter also taught me to ride too! Both teachers are patient, caring and very nice people! The location at Keble is also a perfect place to learn. They have plenty of different bikes available to try which you wouldn’t have access to anywhere else. Peter also added additional lessons to be flexible to our schedule. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn in a safe, and professional environment.

Magician 5Star review I have to say I was skeptical but arriving to my son racing around on the astroturf with no stabilisers was the best feeling. We had worked so hard with early balance bike and then bike with stabilisers but when we moved to potters bar, 18 months later he was still not able to cycle independently and we’d just not found the time. 30 mins with Peter and I have no words. Zooming around the turf. Magician!

Comment graphicSara  26 Oct 2022

Thank You Peter ! 5Star review We travelled 45 miles from Canvey Island to Winchmore Hill for Peter to teach our 7 year old Katie to ride her Frog 55 bike! We booked 2 sessions a week apart and travelled based on recommendation online and we were not disappointed with the results. Katie is Autistic, has a very short attention span and asks lots of questions to give herself assurance of the situation in hand. Informing Peter upon booking of Katie's condition he assured me all will be fine and he has experience with autistic children. Katie had zero prior experience on a bike and was quite nervous on the way to the first lesson. Upon arriving, Peter quickly broke the ice with Katie and I quickly left to grab a sandwich and coffee so that I did not become a distraction. Peter had her riding on her own within 30 minutes of the first lesson and within one hour she was launching off on her own on most attempts in which I was amazed! During the second lesson a week later, Peter spent time with her to master her steering around cones and braking which she mastered perfectly and was soon doing circuits of the training area confidently and at quite a fast speed. I now have a little girl who has the confidence to ride the bike. I cannot wait to ride with my daughter during the 6 weeks holiday. A bit thumbs up for the facilities at the Keble School, the Astro turf playground is a safe and well-designed caged area to learn to ride a bike. Also 100% recommend the Frog bikes, children who tend to learn on a frog bike pick it up quicker as the bike is designed for children from the ground upwards. Once again Thank You Peter.

Peter at Blue Cycle Training 5Star review We had an excellent experience at Blue Cycle Training. My son was riding a bike in 15 mins thanks to Peter. The other lessons were taught to become a better bike rider such as changing gears when needed, learning to break correctly and gaining confidence on a bike. Peter also gives great advice on what bike is most suitable and when to get it. Thanks again Peter.

Comment graphicPrisheela  25 Jul 2022

Money well spent 5Star review My 5 year old learnt to ride in an hour! He needs to practice starting off and braking but he's well on his way. We'd have had to take him out several times for him to get this good! Highly recommend

Cycle training in school 5Star review Well what a fabulous 4 days we have had with Pete and his colleague (and son) this week at Grasvenor Avenue Infant School. Booked with very short notice as another company had let us down, great communication led us to having our children all learn to ride a bike, so much fun for the children and staff alike. Fantastic to see even the most reticent learners become so enthused and excited about their achievements. Bike riding lessons seem to be aimed at children in KS2 therefore it was brilliant to find someone who was able to work with our 4-7 year old pupils. Great rapport with the children and staff, would highly recommend any school investing some of their sport premium budget in this area. Once again a massive thank you from all of us for such a positive learning experience.

Brilliant Lesson with Peter 5Star review Excellent experience with Peter @ Blue Cycle Training today! My son learnt to ride a bike in 10 mins and spent the rest of the lesson riding happily building his confidence. We will be back soon!

Blue Cycle Training 5Star review Our daughter was riding a bike within minutes, after my husband tried all last summer! Plus we knew which bike to get after she was able to ride 2 during the class. Well worth the money. Thank you

5Star review I can’t recommend Peter enough. I had tried on so many occasions to get my 7 year old daughter riding her bike with no luck. I left her with Peter, got a coffee and came back and she was riding her bike and couldn’t be prouder of herself. She was very comfortable with Peter and has come home telling everyone how helpful and funny he was.

5Star review I sent my 11 year old daughter to Peter as she was a very nervous learner and would not be taught by myself or my husband. By the end of the session she was cycling around the playground and very happy & proud of herself. Would definitely recommend!

Comment graphicGeraldine  29 Mar 2022

Amazing! 5Star review These lessons are fantastic. My six year old was riding on her own within 15mins, having shown no sign of being able to when I was trying to help her learn! The look on her face was priceless, I think she was as surprised as I was!

Comment graphicBecki  20 Mar 2022

Highly recommend 5Star review Lily went from previously only using stabilisers to confidently cycling on her own in one session. Peter and Helen clearly have the touch, and a full range of Frog bikes and a great venue for kids to learn with the pretty soft but flat and smooth surfaces.

Comment graphicJT  9 Nov 2021

5Star review I cannot recommend Peter and his team enough! My highly cautious 5 year old was literally riding his bike within minutes! I couldn’t believe it! I will be booking my 3 year old in ASAP. Thank you Peter 🙏🏼

childs cycle lesson 5Star review I can’t recommend Peter and his teachers enough! We really struggled to get our son to ride so we thought last resort lets try lessons. The best decision ever. First lesson was all about balance and the second lesson my son started riding. I couldnt believe it! They are all very patient , lovely to the kids and it was worth every penny. Thankyou!

Comment graphicKate  23 Oct 2021

Fantastic Team 5Star review My son really struggled to ride without his stabilisers so I booked a session with Blue Cycle Training and after the 1 hour session he was riding by himself. I couldn’t believe it. We booked a second session to improve what he had learnt and he was riding so well after this. Highly recommend this company and the 2 guys who run it are really lovely and very patient with the kids.

Comment graphicRebecca  14 Sep 2021

Excellent Cycling Lessons 5Star review Our 6 year old daughter attended Blue cycle training a couple of weeks ago. Peter had her balancing and riding within 20 minutes. Peter was patient, encouraging and put our daughter at ease. We attended two sessions to ensure she was able to turn, brake and start on her own. She is now cycling everyday and managed 6 km through Forty Hall this morning. I would highly recommend Peter. Thank you!

Blue cycle training 5Star review Amazing teachers, highly recommend Blue Cycle Training. My son (5) learnt how to cycle with Blue Cycle Training. He went from being unable to cycle to cycling independently using gears in 2 lessons. Peter and Helen were so kind and patient. My son loved the lesson and now can’t wait to do more cycling! Thank you!

Comment graphicLizzie  12 Jun 2021

I highly recommend, amazing teachers! 5Star review I am so thankful that I took my son to Bluecycletraining, their approach is caring and professional. Peter was so helpful that when I was trying to book session. My son has hyper mobility and he wasn’t keen on riding a bike because he felt nervous about falling down from bike. So the soft floor was definitely a plus that Peter was teaching at Keble, Winchmore Hill. They are so amazing (Peter and Helen) from beginning to end. I also booked riding bike at the park session which was great experience for my son to practice. They made sure to teach how to use gears up to hill and down to hill. They are so great with children. I am so happy that I found them. I highly recommend.

Comment graphicEvren Ersan  10 Jun 2021

5Star review Peter and Helen were amazing with my 6 year old son & 4 year old daughter. After 1 lesson my son was confidently riding his bike and my daughter isn't too far behind. Both kids are a very shy and lack confidence but they were made to feel comfortable straight away and it was so lovely to see them riding around smiling by the end of the lesson. I would definitely recommend Helen and Peter!

Comment graphicChristina  3 Jun 2021

5Star review My 4 year old son went from balance bike to riding in 2 lessons. Peter and Helen were really patient with my son and made the lesson really fun for him. I was so happy to see my son ride so quickly.

Miricles 5Star review I booked two sessions for my seven year old Grandson who was vey nervous and could not even manage on a balance bike. The difference in his ability even after one session was amazing. Learning to ride his bike has given him such a confidence boost, thank you so much. I can't recommend the team highly enough !!

Cycle lessons 5Star review My son has been diagnosed with autism and has significant challenges in relation to both his attention span and ability to listen to, and carry out instructions. Peter has demonstrated genuine patience and understanding in the way in which he has encouraged him to participate and as a result has discovered an entirely new interest for us both.

Bike lesson 5Star review My daughter was struggling to learn to ride without stabilisers for a long time so we decided to get her a proper lesson. Within 30 minutes she was peddling without support and by then end of the lesson she was riding the length of the AstroTurf pitch. Peter and Helen were fantastic teachers and I would 100% recommend Peter’s company.

Oliver 5Star review A great boost for my eleven year old daughter who is not a very confident cyclist so is often reluctant. She was supported so well that she is asking me when she can go again! Thank you 😊

Cycle training 5Star review My son had two sessions with Peter (he took a bit longer to get the hang of braking and steering) and has gone from zero to competent in this time. Highly recommended and worth it for anyone who wants to learn / their kids to learn.

It was like magic! 5Star review My daughter had been on a balance bike for a while but I was skeptical about her being able to learn with pedals so quickly. The day before the lesson we had tried the pedals and it had not been successful with her not wanting to even go to the class. Within 10 minutes she was pedaling around the Astro court and after an hour had really built her confidence. It was like magic! Could not recommend Peter and David enough, thank you very much!

Comment graphicRebecca Clark  20 Sep 2020

Great cycling lesson 5Star review My 5 year old had previously attended and was cycling round by the end of the lesson. His younger brother (4) wanted to learn so he could keep up with his older brother so he had a session too. He loved it and didn't want to come home at the end. The only downside is I now need to buy a bike for myself to keep up with them!

Comment graphicCharlotte  14 Sep 2020

5 stars 5Star review Took my son for a bike riding school as he was not able to ride without stabilisers and I was really impressed as after 30 min he was able to ride his bike without any support. Thank you so much Peter.

Comment graphicNina  13 Sep 2020

Great Session and Instructors! 5Star review We brought our son to Peter and Helen today for his second lesson. Last week Peter had him riding the bike within an hour, but he wasn’t as confident in using breaks, turning and pushing off by himself (all pretty important things 😉), so we booked a second session to work on those areas. By the end of the session, our son was able to safely and confident control the bike and was having a great time whilst doing it!! Peter also recommended the Bike Club to us, which meant that we were able to get a suitable new bike for a really low monthly fee. The bike can be changed as our son grows so we won’t be left with several different bikes in our shed!! Thank you Peter & Helen - you have amazing patience and professionalism. We would highly recommend Blue Cycle to anyone wanting to confidently learn to ride a bike!!

Comment graphicMary Johnston  13 Sep 2020

Fantastic cycling lessons 5Star review My son really enjoyed the cycling lessons and was able to ride a bike at the end of the for lesson. I am very impressed with how well organised the class is and the way in which Peter was able to help my son ride from the first time without any experience. I would highly recommend Peter and the the learn to ride bicycle sessions!

5Star review Peter taught my son last year to ride a bike and we were very impressed that he rode his bike after 30 minutes. We decided to book a session for our 4 year old daughter today. She progressed a lot during the lesson with her technique and while she isn’t quite riding independently yet, the lesson gave her a lot of confidence and she is excited to practice. Peter and the team are amazing, very patient and certainly know how to teach the technique.

Comment graphicAndrea  23 Aug 2020

Excellent 5Star review Both my sons age 3 and 5 have learnt to cycle with Peter and his team. They are very friendly, gentle and experienced.

Blue cycle training 5Star review My daughter recently learnt to ride her bike with Peter. She had no experience at all but after just one lesson she was balancing and starting to pedal. After the second lesson she was pushing off on her own and can now cycle. She has enjoyed the lessons so much that she keeps asking me to book another. Peter and his team are friendly, patient and reassuring and I highly recommend Blue Cycle Training.

Highly recommended 5Star review I have a 4 year old and a 5 year old who can be very awkward when it comes to learning new things. They have never ridden bikes and I could not face trying to teach them myself, luckily someone recommended Blue Cycle Training and I'm absolutely delighted that they did! Peter is incredibly patient and knows all the tricks to get them to overcome their fears. He had them both riding within the hour which I could not believe. We had an additional lesson so that they could practice and learn to push off by themselves and they had both mastered it and were happily riding round and round at the end of the lesson. Peter has a brilliant selection of bikes and amazing teaching skills, this was definitely the right decision and I would urge everyone to save themselves the stress and take their children to Peter!

5 Year Old 5Star review My 5 year old son had only ridden a balance bike previously and hadn't been on that for around 6 months when he attending this lesson. Within 30 minutes he was riding around on his own. The teacher was very patient and understood exactly how to overcome my sons apprehension to cycling. I'd highly recommend these lessons to anyone looking to learn how to ride a bike.

Would definitely recommend peter, thank you so much.

Fantastic 5Star review My seven year old son could almost ride a bike but couldn’t quite get it. Attempts to practice were very frustrating for both of us. Within one hour Peter had my son confidently riding laps of the practice area and he enjoyed every minute of the lesson. I’d highly recommend Peter. It’s worth every penny.

Bike skills 5Star review My 2 children did a bike skills class with there 2 friends with Peter. They had a great time and Peter made it very fun for them and when they finished they asked when they could go again.

Cycling lesson for 5 year old 5Star review My 5 year old never got the hang of his balance bike and refused to ride his pedal bike without stabilisers. In one lesson with David he learnt to balance, progress to using pedals and then finally ride unassisted - all with a huge grin on his face. Amazing! Thoroughly recommend these sessions to others.

A great idea and works really well 5Star review Thanks to Peter and David for the wonderful learn to cycle session my son and another child attended yesterday. It was pouring with rain some of the time but Peter and David and the 2 children braved the weather and both children were cycling very well within the hour. Peter and David were very patient and friendly with both children and gained their confidence and my son was impressed with the Frog bike Peter supplied. The other child brought their own bike. I would very much recommend this service, was enjoyable for my son and he is proud of himself.

Comment graphicJoanna  30 Sep 2019

Amazing 5Star review Such friendly service from beginning to end, I was extremely skeptical about my son learning to ride in an hour but thanks to Peter my son was riding with full confidence within the first 30mins and starting by himself within the hour. Even my son was shocked and said Peter used magic on his bike to help him ride. So we have a very happy and confident young boy. Would definitely recommend them to anyone very friendly and patient.

Comment graphicSymone Hinds  22 Sep 2019

Bruce 5Star review David was incredibly patient with my 4 year old daughter, who was reluctant to even get on her bike whilst it had pedals on, as we usually take them off for her to ride as a balance bike. By the end of the hour, David has coaxed her to ride independently round and round the Astro turf court and she thoroughly enjoyed herself and increased her confidence. She has already asked to come to another lesson, so we may book on again in the near future. Thanks Peter and David!

Blue Cycle Training 5Star review Excellent teaching so impressed My son Joshua aged 9 had never cycled before apart from when he was about three on a bike with stabilisers. Took Josh about an hour and a half with Peter today but he is cycling and so proud of himself . Pete I cannot thank you enough . We came all the way from Sutton Surrey but it was definitely worth it . The fact that you provide the bikes as well really helped . I would recommend Peter to any parent who wants their child to learn to cycle .

Bicycle training review 5Star review This is the second time I’ve used the Lyd’s group for recommendations and once again I am extremely pleased. Peter Farebrother, is absolutely amazing. I can not thank him enough. After my sons first lesson he has been able to ride a bike even though for a little bit on his own. What this has done to his confidence I can’t really put into words. Not only has boosted his confidence my son is enthralled by bike riding and has found a new love away from his PS4 and a football. (YES!!!) I’m so happy that with Peter’s help I have been able to positively broaden my sons horizons. His professionalism, passion and enthusiasm is next to nothing. I can’t recommend him enough. We are patiently awaiting our next lesson. Thank you so much Peter Farebrother and thank you Lydsters. What an amazing community we have.
