Our Lessons

Purrfect Pedalling lessons are normally one-to-one although it may be possible to train small groups (including families) with a similar level of ability together - please enquire.

All our training is tailored to your individual needs but is based on the new National Standard for Cycle Training which caters for everyone from complete beginners to advanced training for dealing with busy roads and difficult conditions.

There is no pass or fail in cycle training but we will inform you of the level within the National Standard that you have reached and what the aims of further training would be.

Subject to suitable places being available, on-road training for people who can cycle can start from your home.

Beginner training is done at a suitable off-road location. The main locations we use are the cycle circuit in Tudor Grange Park Solihull, Cannon Hill Park in south Birmingham, Pype Hayes Park in north Birmingham or Victoria Park in Leamington Spa. However other locations may also be possible. As your skills develop the training will move on to quiet roads with advanced training being done on busy roads.

Training can take place on your own bike which must be roadworthy. However we can provide a suitable bike for an additional charge.

Standard Prices from January 2012

Cycle training is an investment which will serve you for a lifetime. Once you have acquired the skills to ride a bike and/or cycle confidently on the road you will not forget them!

Standard cost of one hour lesson £25*

A bike may be provided for all your lessons for a one-off additional charge of £10.

You may also wish to consider a two hour lesson which costs £40* . Two hour lessons are most suited for on-road lessons and are not normally recommended for complete beginners.

New Year Special: First lesson only £15 when booked in January 2012!

Save money with advance purchase. If you have clear objectives for your training and you know you will want a particular number of lessons, you can make significant savings by paying for your lessons in advance. Pay for six lessons in advance and we will give you a seventh lesson free!*

Other Options

For shared lessons the above charges apply but there is an extra charge of £5 per additional person per hour. Shared lessons are available at the discretion of Purrfect Pedallling taking into account issues of safety and practicality.

All the above charges apply in our normal operating area which covers Solihull, most of South Birmingham, parts of Coventry, Warwick and Leamington.

There is an additional travelling time charge of £5 per lesson if we train in other areas close to our normal operating area. We may also be able to train further afield at an additional cost - please send us your postcode for a quick quote. There may be a minimum lesson length of two hours outside our normal operating area.

*Payment is by cash or cheque payable at the time of the lesson. If you purchase lessons in advance there is no limit to the period during which the lessons must be taken. However money will not normally be refunded for any lessons which are not taken up.
