My 10 and a half year old son wants to cycle to school.As its about 20years since I have been on a bike I think we should both take lessons! Does anyone know of any group lessons locally?

will your DS be doing cycling proficiency this year? (My DS did in year 6, DN did in Yr 5)

You could volunteer as a parent helper, and pick up tips while helping?

check your highway code too for the cyclist section.

Do you have any off-road cycle paths nearby where you could go together to get back into the swing of it relatively safely.

BTW this is all theoretical advice. I only have to sit on a bike and I have a panic attackblush

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
