Providing cycle training in and around London.
Cycling is a great way to get around, stay healthy, save money and de-stress. It can help you burn excess energy, let loose your competitive streak in a sportive or charity ride and get you away from the city and back to nature. And most importantly it's great fun! Cycle training can make your journeys more confident and help you achieve your cycling goals, be it getting on a bike for the first time, improving your fitness, commuting to work or cycling London-Paris.
With over 1600 clients trained CycleWithMe has valuable experience to help you succeed. Read on for more info or click to contact Fiona@CycleWithMe
An update from Ronit, April 2024 :) "Thank you so much for teaching me to cycle. I just completed my first sportive (the suffolk classic - 94km). I couldn't imagine cycling this far a year ago when I had my first lesson with you and I am so grateful to you for opening the world of cycling to me!"
Ronit's original 5-stars google review from April 2023 "Fiona is a wonderful bicycling teacher. She is super observant, kind and encouraging, and she was fantastic at coaching me to improve my control and technique as an adult beginner. She has given me the confidence to make bicycling a part of my life. Thank you Fiona!"

CycleWithMe is based in Richmond upon Thames, the cycling capital of London, but will travel. I ask for beginners to come to me as I've found a lovely park, ideal for learning to cycle, with smooth and wide pathways and facilities for anyone who accompanies you. Road safety training is done on the roads you will use, where practicable. Similarly I use roads near to schools and businesses when I am training their students or employees. When it comes to training for your BIG challenge we ride all over, towards Windsor to the west and the Surrey Hills to the south.
CycleWithMe is run by me, Fiona Tisch. I am a passionate cyclist and trainer and have always cycled: to school, to clubs, to shops, with friends, to work, with family, getting muddy off-road cycling, on holiday, in the velodrome, essentially cycling everywhere. In amongst all the people I have trained you can include my husband and two children. Before becoming a cycling instructor I worked in international business in central London training adults from all over the world for more than 10 years and got to cycle all over the world during down-time on business trips. And, of course, I commuted from Richmond to central London on my bike, a roundtrip of 21 miles.
I am a fully accredited cycling instructor (1st4Sport Level 2 Award in Instructing Cycle Training (formerly National Standards Cycling Instructor)) so I am qualified to provide cycle training to children and adults. I am also a Volunteer Cycling Instructor for London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (LBRUT) and a qualified British Cycling Ride Leader. I have British Cycling and Cycling UK membership. And, I have a first aid certificate, a clean DBS certificate and full insurance.
All instructors that work with me also have first aid certiciates, a clean DBS and their own insurance.
A successful business is one that realises that giving and receiving support is fundamental. CycleWithMe has built up a number of partnerships over time supporitng other local, like minded businesses and recommends them to you.
