Press Release

Mayor to launch Lambeth's Cycle Training Scheme

Lambeth Mayor Councillor June Fewtrell will be getting on her bike on Sunday to launch the borough's new cycle training scheme.

The launch will take place at 1.30pm on Sunday 22nd September in Sunnyhill Road, Streatham, which will be closed to cars during the day as Lambeth's contribution to European Car Free Day 2002.

The free, two-hour one-to-one cycle training lessons are provided by Cycle Training UK, a professional on-road training service based in the borough, in Kennington. The training is for all ages and all levels, aimed at encouraging confidence and assertiveness on the road.

Says Richard Ambler, Cycle Projects Manager at Lambeth Transport: "Cycling is quick, convenient, helps the environment and is excellent exercise. But many people are daunted by the thought of cycling in London's traffic.

"This new scheme will enable them to cycle confidently and safely on Lambeth's roads, and enjoy all the benefits of cycling."

Places are limited. For more information and to book up please call Cycle Training UK on 020 7820 3788 or 020 7564 5990.
