London bike hire scheme
Great article from the team at ACT Smart about ATG’s involvement with the London Bike Hire Scheme.
Tesco make a move
Tesco have announced in Bike Biz their intention to enter the bike market. We have been working closely with Tesco for a while now, developing and delivering technical training to help them gain the skills to avoid the pitfalls that have become other supermarket chains.
Their plans and marketing clout should help put more backsides in the saddle which should be good news for all.
Flippin eck, it’s Factor 001
It does beg the question “why?”
Seriously expensive bike that we’re not quite sure about it’s reason for existing.
Geeky, bespoke nobbyness or a seriously, serious tool for the job?
At £21,000 it’s not going to be found in many local bike shops.
Ultimate bike accessory?
Thanks to Dave Astley who found this clip, you too can ride harder, faster and bigger than before.
Cycle Maintenance
Matt Goodrich - Divisional Head - Cycle Training
ATG Training has been selected as a training partner for London’s Cycle Hire Scheme. ATG will advertise and select 29 apprentices to work on the London hire fleet.
The apprentices will be attending ATG’s world-class Cycle Training Academy in Aylesbury for ten days in April and will then be assessed in their new roles until the summer. ATG faced competition from numerous London-based competitors but won the business because of its national reputation and stunning facilities.
Another step on ATG’s path to becoming the first point of contact for all things cycle-related. Serco, who are running the London Cycle Hire Scheme, are discussing other partnering opportunities for ATG.
Cycles sales the best for the last six months
The British Retail Consortium reported for total UK retail sales growth in October with like for like cycle retail sales growth increased to 7.3% in the specialist sector in October, the highest growth rate in the last 6 months and nearly double the 3.8%.
This is encouraging news for the Cycle Training sector, with even more consumers needing to have their pride and joys serviced correctly.
Hammer Time?
You can’t touch this.
Well, actually you can! Dave Astley, assessor for the West Mids and Wales recently helped a buddy fit a HammerSchmidt set up on quite a tasty Titus El Guapo.
He’s written a report on fitting and also his first ride impressions.

quick funding guide
With the ever changing funding criteria um, ever changing, we have produced a quick guide to help you see what might be available to you.
We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible but sometimes even we struggle to keep up!
The apprenticeship programme is available to individuals aged between 16 and 24 as long as they don’t hold a degree. Places are pretty limited so availability changes on a daily basis.
Train to Gain is available to anyone aged 19+ regardless of prior level of qualification.
Read the guide to funded cycle maintenance qualifications in more detail here.
We’re happy to talk you through the options, just contact us for more info (details on the main website).
