“Cycling is a healthy, low cost, environmentally friendly way to travel, as well as to keep fit.”
Cycling in Hackney
Many people in Hackney cycle, and the borough has the highest number of people cycling to work in London and the second highest number in England (after Cambridge) by total numbers. Join them and find out why. Cycle Confident works in partnership with Hackney Borough Council providing all its cycle training initiatives. Anybody who lives, works or studies in the borough is entitled to the following services.
Availability is subject to funding, which means that not all courses are available at all times.
Hackney Council and Lime
Very good news to start the new year. Cycle Confident is happy to announce that Hackney residents can now book free cycle training thanks to a partnership between Hackney Council and e-bike cycle hire operator Lime.
Lime is the largest bike-sharing operator in London and the only dockless e-bike scheme in Hackney. The free training has been secured by the Council to train up to 750 adults to level 3 bikeability within the borough. Sessions will support individuals and families to build their skill levels to improve confidence to promote safe cycling behaviour when riding around the borough. The training is for riders of all abilities, helping to improve riding skills to further encourage residents to adopt cycling as a regular mode of transport.
Sessions are FREE to attend, and will last up to 2 hours, delivered by Cycle Confident trained cycle instructors. Sessions will be 1-2-1, or in small groups.
