Motorists who drive to the Surrey Quays shopping centre in south London are being offered three hours’ cycle training for just £10, as part of a campaign by Southwark Cyclists to reduce car traffic and persuade more people to use bicycles.
Spokesman Barry Mason said: ‘Lots of Londoners want to cycle more but for many people. a lack confidence in their cycling skills stops them getting on their bikes. ‘We are piloting something which can be used as a blueprint for similar projects in the future.’
