Darren was amazing! His tips made it that starting to cycle on my own felt like a natural transition from the drills I was doing. To learn this as an adult in such a short time was mind-blowing. Sup... See more

Darren is an incredible cycling…

Darren is an incredible cycling instructor! Thanks to his patience, clear guidance, and constant encouragement, I went from not knowing how to ride a bike to confidently cycling on my own. He made the learning process fun, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher—highly recommended!

Superb!

Excellent supportive coaching that gave me confidence, identified my weak spots, and gave me tips and techniques to resolve them. I hadn't cycled for decades, but was confident enough to be on a (quiet) road by the end of our session. Can't recommend highly enough.

Miracle Worker!

Darren was so patient with my son, encouraging, fun and helped build his confidence. I couldn’t believe he got him cycling by the third session. Thank you so much.

Happy riding

From my first enquiry to actually booking the 3×45mins sessions bike happy were polite and informative but then it got better.. from the 1st minute off the first session..Darren built up a repoir with my granddaughter( 6yrs old) which immediately took away our fears and anxiety and by the end off the first session. she was not riding (which wasn't the aim).but more importantly she was beaming with confidence and looking forward to her next lesson...hence to say by the end off the third session louise from none cyclist was now whizzing around 😉
I wouldn't say the course is cheap but definitely worth every penny
Thank you .Darren and team bike happy..

money well spent

This was money well spent, with excellent teaching, and really warm encouragement. The whole thing has been so well thought through and I only regret not doing it sooner. Thanks to Darren for his patience and support, I cycled through Regent’s Park- something I never ever thought I’d manage in my wildest dreams!

Darren was a brilliant patient trainer

Darren was a brilliant patient trainer. He gave me the confidence and great tips on how to balance. Plus lots of information on which bicycles are the best for me while I am still in my ‘green’ cyclist phase. So glad that I learned with Bike Happy and would highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing experience

Absolutely amazing experience! I highly recommend Darren and Bike Happy for anyone looking to learn or improve their cycling skills. I choose the Olympic Park which was the perfect place - quiet, lots of space and relatively few people. Darren was very knowledgable, kind and patient - a great coach! A+

Darren was very friendly

Darren was very friendly, kind and funny with my kid. My son loved him.
My son learned in the three days time and we had amazing experience. Now he can do balance, steer and kick off by himself.

But he still needs more practice to learn better steering and control slopes. And to maintain longer distances.

Very Happy Cycling Lesson

Great cycling lesson. Darren was brilliant in providing knowledge, advice, encouragement and also demonstrating what to do. I definitely feel inspired and safe to do more cycling.

Darren was awesome

Darren was awesome. Super relaxed, extremely knowledgable, and very encouraging/supportive. I hadn’t been on a bike in over 30 years. Within no time at all, Darren had me confident and pedalling away! Highly recommend!

Great experience all round

Can't recommend Darren highly enough - today I've gone from hardly ever being on a bike to feeling like I can hop on a bike anytime and get from A to B. Genuinely gutted I didn't do this earlier! Darren is an incredibly patient, positive teacher whose passion for helping people experience the joys of bike riding shines through. Over 2.5 hours he got me from knowing nothing to riding with confidence without stress or any trouble.

If you're debating whether to take the plunge and learn to ride with Bikehappy, you absolutely have to. I'm 37 and thought I would never learn - but all it took was a morning with Darren. Thanks so much!

Genius!

It took 1 hour for my 5yo daughter to learn to bike while laughing and having fun.
Darren is a genius.

Thanks Darren!

I did a session with Darren about 5 weeks ago. Prior to that I barely knew how to ride a bike properly and couldn’t turn around corners. I couldn’t even cycle on roads due to nerves. But I’m pleased to say that I managed to cycle 55 miles from London to Brighton yesterday on a pretty decent road bike (Merida) and Darren’s session and advice helped me a huge amount. I’m now looking for my next ride and very confident on hitting the roads. Thanks Darren for everything and hope to bump into you on the road somewhere

An excellent experience!

As a 30+ year old who has never been able to ride a bike, I was apprehensive about learning at a late stage. Darren made me feel incredibly comfortable and had me riding within a couple of hours. An excellent coach and top guy! Would thoroughly recommend
