TESTIMONIALS

Thank you to all of you who have attended our coaching sessions. Below are some kind words from some riders who we've recently had the pleasure of working with.

​

​

"A brilliant course that built confidence, bike handling skills and understanding of how to ride in different situations. Barnaby, the instructor, was really good at explaining everything and followed up each session with an email setting out what we'd learnt with photos of him demonstrating and links to useful materials. I was comfortable asking those questions that I'd never dared to ask previously! The group rides out to Kent and Surrey have been great with really well planned routes on quiet lanes and a few hilly challenges thrown in. As well as learning lots, I met some lovely people on the course and we've been out on quite a few rides together since. I'd highly recommend the course to cyclists of all levels. It works as a refresher for experienced riders and helps build knowledge and confidence for those newer to the sport. 10/10".

"ECC has taught me many valuable skills, techniques and safety procedures. It has made me a safer, faster cyclist, and increased my confidence riding solo and in groups. Each session has also been great fun, as well as an excellent workout!".

"Barnaby's passion for cycling is really brushes off on you whilst doing this course. I learnt a great deal as there's some really useful tips and tricks on this course. It also really helped with my confidence on the road and cycling with others."

 

Ali - ECC rider

​

​

"I've been a fairly experienced cyclist for some years now (mainly cycling in traffic in cities & on country roads), but I've benefitted hugely from these coaching sessions. I've learned a number of new skills, some of which came in very handy during my first sportive ride a few weeks later. Even though I'm not going to become a competitive cyclist, learning how to ride in close proximity to others at higher speeds has given me more confidence when riding in a larger group. Barnaby's knowledge, patience and fun delivery pushed me further than I could have imagined, which in turn encouraged me to join a couple of cycling clubs (the more casual ones though). I'd definitely recommend these coaching sessions to anyone wanting to take their cycling skills to the next level!"

Andrea - ECC rider

​

"The Eager Cycle coaching really helped me take my cycling to the next level and introduce me to the world of sports cycling. Before doing the coaching I was a commuter cyclist with an awareness of road safety, but now I feel ready to join group rides, go for long rides outside of London, and do some more serious races. It was brilliant to meet other keen cyclists and we still hang out and share tips! It was definitely value for money, although I did go out and buy a shiny new road bike a few weeks later...".

Birgit - ECC rider

​

​

"Skills learnt on the course are very useful and potentially life-saving. Shortly after finishing the course I found I had to use my newly learnt braking technique in a near miss with a vehicle which pulled out from a junction in front of me. I know I walked away after doing an evasive manoeuvre because of my ECC training. Thanks Barnaby!"
