‘best teacher out there!’
‘Christian led me on my first long-distance ride, and took away all the anxiety around staying with the group with some great coaching and advice’
‘Christian taught me everything I know about group -riding and leading rides’
‘Christian has forgotten more about bikes than most people will ever know about bikes and cycling. Two years ago I was part of a squad riding over 500kms in 3 days across France and Christian was one of the leaders. His special skill was that he always knew what you needed. If you needed an arm on the shoulder, a kick up the backside, or a bit of a laugh, he sensed it and provided it. I genuinely don’t think I’d have finished the ride if it wasn’t for Christian’
‘Christian has been a mentor, coach and friend on and off the road since I took up cycling in 2013. I regularly travel from Glasgow to London just to ride in one of his groups. The key thing I have learnt is the importance of the social side of group riding and taking real enjoyment when working as a group’
‘Christian has been instrumental in my enjoyment of riding in groups. His encouragement and positive attitude exudes confidence and really helps you to focus on enjoying cycling safely. Thank you!’
‘Christian provided me with a totally new feeling of safety and control while riding my bike, which I didn’t know before; it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference, and Christian luckily knows them all’
‘I can’t thank Christian enough for the confidence he gave me when I started road cycling two years ago. I’d only commuted previously so this was a whole new world of how to ride and ride well within a group. His patience and encouragement allowed me to learn at my own pace and be confident to try and push myself further. Thank you so much for everything Christian xx’
‘Christian helped me learn how to group ride and road cycle with his friendly coaching and encouragement along the way. From hill climbing + descending to gear changing, corners + overtaking, I was able to take away loads of invaluable tips and pieces of advice which have helped me to be a much more confident rider today! You know whenever Christian comes along on a group ride you don’t have anything to worry about because he makes sure that everyone is able to take part and encourages us to ride together as a team’
‘I did almost all of my riding with Christian when I first moved to London. He’s the most friendly, welcoming and inclusive guy you could hope to meet. And has a super calm ability to put new cyclists at ease’
‘Christian is a fantastic teacher who genuinely loves to share his knowledge of cycling and see new cyclists improve. He has a quietly encouraging manner that makes you feel confident and at ease on the roads in no time. I’m so grateful he taught me to ride!’
‘I’ve known Christian for a number of years since joining the same cycling club. During that time he has helped me to build up my confidence riding in a group, reading road situations and being able to respond appropriately. He has significant knowledge and experience which he enjoys passing on. I highly recommend as a cycling coach no matter what your level or goals are’
