Introducing Donna, Director of Pedal Power Training and her journey delivering cycle training sessions to children and adults across the South Coast of England.

Year 5 children at Valentine Primary School in Southampton taking part in their essential Bikeability training!

Pedal Power Training Ltd is proud to partner with Portsmouth City Council to deliver comprehensive Bikeability training across the city’s schools.

Over the next four years, we’ll be offering Balance Bike training, Learn to Ride sessions, and Bikeability Levels 1, 2, and 3 to thousands of children, ensuring they develop the skills and confidence to cycle safely.

Teaching a child to ride a bike is a joyous thing and we are lucky we get to do it almost every day. As well as teaching Bikeability in schools across Hampshire, we also offer 1:1 tuition.

But imagine being the one to help your child learn to ride a bike — being there for that very special moment?

Pedal Power Training Ltd is thrilled to announce that it has been selected to deliver Bikeability Levels 1, 2, and 3, along with Bikeability Plus courses in Southampton schools. This initiative, supported by Southampton City Council’s Active Travel team, will see Pedal Power Training collaborate with various local cycle training providers to ensure a seamless and impactful delivery of cycling education over the next 12 months.

Cycling is a wonderful activity that offers a myriad of benefits for both children and adults. Learning to ride safely with an approved Bikeability provider like Pedal Power Training ensures that cyclists gain the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to enjoy this activity safely and responsibly. Whether it’s for health, social connections, or personal development, cycling is a valuable skill that can last a lifetime.

Mark your calendars! From Monday 23rd to Friday 27th September, schools across Southampton, Portsmouth, and beyond are invited to join in on Cycle to School Week. This initiative, championed by Bikeability, encourages children and their parents or carers to swap the school car run for a bike ride. Why? Because cycling to school isn’t just a fun way to start the day—it’s packed with benefits for everyone involved!
