Cycling tuition

(1/1)

ABlipInContinuity:
This is something I'd really like to get into. I've just priced up the instructor course (with BikeRight in Manchester) and I know about the CTC bursary (although it's in a state of flux right now).

I'm just wondering is it worth it? Is there enough work out there for another cycling instructor? (Even part time?)

Marmitegeoff:
Yes it is very worth it.

having an elderly lady cycling round a car park with tears streaming down her face because she felt in control of a bike for the first time in her life was very well worth it.  Son had been trying to teach her for years!!

There is a very big benefit in that all thngs to do with cycling can be offset against tax.  Even the best bike so long as it is used for a few lessons, level 3 around town, is offsetable.

I have not made a profit yet, so no tax paid, but loads of new stuff.  The tax man accepts this as I am teaching part time, and therefore not dependant on profit to live.
