Merton Council is encouraging more people to consider cycling into work and is offering free adult cycle training for anyone living or working in Merton.
The free six week course is available to complete beginners and people who would like to brush up on their road skills.
Councillor Martin Whelton said: “Safety is the main concern of people considering cycling in the capital and a solid of understanding of what you can and can’t do on the road is important as well as giving you confidence.
“We want to encourage more residents to live and work in the borough and making our roads safer for cyclists is a priority for the council.”
