City of Westminster
The City of Westminster is committed to making cycling safe, enjoyable and practical. Anybody who lives, works or studies in the borough is entitled to the following services:
FREE Cycle Skills sessions: Get tailored training at a level suited to your needs, or book a lesson for the family (with up to three participants)! Choose from Basic (off-road environment), Urban (quiet local roads) or Advanced (complex junctions and busy roads).
Please note that due to current social distancing measures we are unable to teach people to cycle who are complete beginners. We hope to resume this service soon.

If you need glasses or corrective lenses for distance viewing, please ensure you have them with you for the training. The council also recommends that cyclists meet the same or a higher standard of eyesight as drivers and motorcyclists, as stated in The Highway Code: they ‘must be able to read a vehicle number plate, in good daylight, from a distance of 20 metres (or 20.5 metres where the old style number plate is used).’
Cycle Confident works in partnership with the City of Westminster providing all its cycle training initiatives. For any queries relating to the training on offer please contact us.
