Week two of Road Safety GB’s online cycling event draws to a close with a presentation looking at how to nurture skilful and considerate cycling.
The presentation has been prepared by Michael Corden, head of training, Cycle Confident and BikeRight.
Cycle Confident works in partnership with 14 London Boroughs to deliver a range of cycle training solutions – while BikeRight delivers Bikeability training in Merseyside, Manchester and the West Midlands.
Michael’s presentation looks at the role cycle training has to play in building on the increase in cycling seen during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In particular, he discusses how gaining skills through training develops confidence to ride more and builds a positive attitude towards cycling.
Michael’s presentation is available to watch via the event website from 10am today (18 June).
