No matter how long you’ve been swimming or doing triathlon it can still be intimidating going to a new club or group session for the first time. Here are some of the strategies that I use to help make it easier.

Bikeability is the term we use for teaching safe cycling to children in schools. Its governed by the Department of Transport and follows a national standard. It’s also taught to adults and I’ve worked with people of all ages across Warwickshire and the West Midlands.
Ten Reasons a Cycle Tour can make you a faster Triathlete
Every year I try and go on some sort of cycle tour or trip. Partly because I’m pretty useless at sight seeing or sitting on a beach and I also love cycling! But what other reasons are there to go on a cycle tour and how could it help your performance for triathlon?
Learning to Pedal
A lot of people are lucky enough to learn how to ride a bike as a child and grow up taking it for granted as something that you just do. But if you didn’t get that chance and are now an adult cycling can seem pretty scary. It’s common for adults to think that the reason they can’t cycle is because they lack balance, strength or fitness or are too old to learn. These are all myths and anyone can learn to ride given the right teaching methods.
