His coaching abilities are exemplary, and he goes above and beyond to ensure that trainees fully comprehend and internalize the training content.
Moreover, Glenn's commitment to the subject matter is evident in his thoroughness in preparation and delivery. He consistently provided comprehensive and well-structured training sessions, ensuring that all key concepts were covered in a clear and concise manner.
Glenn also proved to be reliable and punctual, consistently meeting deadlines and providing timely updates on the progress of his training courses. He approached his responsibilities with a high level of professionalism and was always willing to offer support and assistance whenever necessary.
In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Glenn Thompson as a professional cycle trainer.

We popped into see Hukins Hops recently and really impressed with the plans and building works that are going on there. As well as the hop picking tours, there will be a taproom, restaurant and accomodation in the late summer. We Look forward to taking our cycling customers there soon.

Jason and Kerry came to us to celebrate their 4 year anniversary at the weekend:
"Absolutely cracking visit to The Old Dairy Brewery. Atmosphere was lovely, friendly and welcoming! Obviously a popular location as it got busier as the evening progressed! We did an e-bike tour with Wider Experience which came with a taster package of beers and a snack (scotch egg and pork pie) all of which was brilliant. Glenn, who dealt with the bike side of things, was incredibly helpful and communicative, and gave us a quick tutorial on the e-bikes before setting us off on a great little GPS route that took in some awesome local views, before heading back to the Tap room for a well deserved pint. Would recommend this whole-heartedly!

Big thanks to you all for helping us reach 100 lik

Big thanks to you all for helping us reach 100 likes on Facebook.

We started Wider Experience just before the start of lockdown last year ( I know right 😳) and although it was a difficult start we are proud that we have started delivering on our promise get more people riding as we love cycling and want to help others ride too. We have helped very young children learn to ride, school children learn road safety, we have built teenager’s confidence and skills, we’ve taught silver surfers to ride again, got families enjoying riding together and even taught a few lorry drivers on the way. We’ve fixed bikes, loaned bikes and even bought a few 😉.

It has been magical to see the difference it makes to see riders of all ages benefiting from the simple pleasure of riding a bike, be it health, fitness, time with friends and family, ecofriendly and sustainable travel or just the chance to explore the beautiful countryside - whatever the reason we are here to help you get there 🚴🏼 🚴🏻‍♀️.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 So the big announcement we promised is we are offering a free cycling lesson to families in Kent and East Sussex - no catch, no email sign up and there is nothing extra to pay.

Only condition is it must be at least one parent & one child to count as a family.

Please message us here or on our website to book your place.

If this isn’t for you but you know a family that might benefit from a free cycling lesson then please tag them.

Thanks and hope to see you on a bike soon.

Saw this at a school in Ashford where we were teaching children to learn to ride their bikes. This is the sort of message we like and support at Wider Experience.
