PEDAL PROJECT

The Pedal Project mission is clear: to get as many people as possible enjoying cycling.

Our first learn to ride courses for children were in 2015 and since then we have taught many thousands of children to cycle for the first time. It was through talking to parents of children at the course that we realised many adults missed out on learning to cycling when they were children, and so we have set up courses for adults too.

It is never too late to learn and our courses are designed to help even the most nervous and sure-they-can't-do-it achieve it, and open up a whole new life on two wheels!

 

ED WOODHOUSE – FOUNDER

After studying maths at Trinity College, Cambridge, Ed’s career path was rather a circuitous one, taking in a job at Stanfords map shop, a Masters degree from UCL in cartography and work creating mapping solutions for local authorities and marine conservation projects in Madagascar, ending up at one of the Big Four accountancy firms as a software developer in their tax practice.

Nothing wrong with that, except that it wasn’t right for Ed.

He always had a passion for bikes and cycling. A touring trip with his father along the North and West coasts of Scotland began a love of long distance riding and now every year he heads to the French Alps, Pyrenees or Dolomites for a week or two to tackle famous cols.

Ed left his job as a software developer in 2012 to focus on what he really loves doing: helping others enjoy cycling. Since then he has taught many hundreds of children and adults cycling, from pedalling for the first time to learning road safety.

With Pedal Project, Ed’s sole aim is to get more children and adults cycling for the first time.

Ed went to East Sheen Primary School, followed by Shene School (now Richmond Park Academy) and Richmond Upon Thames College. He knows and loves the area and this is where the first Pedal Project courses took place.

He has since emigrated to North London and Pedal Project now runs courses in different parts of London.

If you have any questions about Pedal Project, cycling or bikes, please do get in touch. Questions about tax, topography or topology less so, but we'll give them a go!
