Doing it for a living?

Yes Hatler you are right the last one is in Bristol, I'm sure that you can find it on CTC's website.
I have talked to a few people and they all say that individuals is not were you make the money. You make your money when you get a "contract" with a council, as then you are funded by them to do the schools(where the money is), individuals, Dr. Bikes etc. And getting that tenure with a council when you are a one man band is hard work, I saw the paperwork and I gave up.
I didn't try hard to drum up business for the first year, but it is hard work especially when nearly all councils in Greater London are giving out lessons for free or at £5-8 for 4 to unlimited hours.
So try to get a gig with your local council or company that is doing the training for the councils, that was what I did.
And you are right it is great fun and a top job, especially when a child you have trained for the last 4 Mondays come up and give you a hug and says thanks for the lessons, which happened today :)

What Woolly didn't tell you is that he has become two things he always vowed he wouldn't:
1) A teacher
2) Strict!

But I have become something I always dreamt of becoming ...
... a professional cyclist :)
