Vocational training for professional road users
Professional road use demands more than basic cycling ability. It calls for judgement, awareness, and calm decision-making when conditions are unpredictable. That is where our cargo bike training comes in.
With over seven years of hands-on experience, we design and deliver vocational cycle training built around real-world riding. Busy junctions, narrow streets, variable loads, time pressure. This is training shaped by the realities professional riders face every day, not theory pulled from a manual.
Our own logistics riders all complete this programme, and the results show in safer roads, smoother operations, and reliable delivery under pressure. Training is not an add-on for us, it is the backbone of how we work.
When you choose Pedal Me Training, your staff benefit from consistent standards aligned with industry best practice in on-road risk management and goods handling. Each course is tailored to the cycle your business uses, whether that is a two, three, or four-wheeled cargo setup, electric or non-assisted.
Assessment is optional but strongly recommended. Delivered in live traffic conditions, each rider is observed managing real risks in real time. Decisions are judged fairly and objectively with a clear pass or fail outcome. It is a practical way to build confidence in your team from the very first day they take your cargo cycles onto the road.
Our training covers:
Training tailored to your specific cargo bike or cycle
Core non-riding skills for cargo bike riders, from load security to situational awareness
Expert-led coaching grounded in real operational scenarios
Structured progression that builds confidence and consistency
On-road training focused on responsible, predictable riding
Certification and graded assessment available on request
For businesses running cargo bikes at scale, this is not about box-ticking. It is about reducing risk, protecting people, and keeping operations moving smoothly in demanding urban environments.

Our cargo cycle training is built around proven best practice and real operational demands, setting a clear benchmark for cycling logistics in busy urban environments.
By choosing Pedal Me Training, you strengthen the credibility of your cargo bike operation from day one. Consistent rider standards, clear risk management, and professional on-road behaviour all translate directly into smoother deliveries and fewer issues on the ground.
Well-trained riders move with confidence and predictability. That matters to your clients, who care about reliability, care for goods, and deliveries arriving exactly when promised. Behind the scenes, it also means fewer incidents, better communication, and a logistics operation that feels calm rather than reactive.
This is training designed to support professional courier teams who want their cycling logistics to be taken seriously, by customers, by partners, and by the city they operate in.
-
You can be confident your staff are able to use cargo cycles to their full potential, operating safely while maintaining the professional standards and consistency your business expects, and your clients rely on every day.
If you want a slightly more assertive version, or one with a softer, reassurance-led tone, I can provide alternatives.

Description text goes hereBy training your staff to a high standard of road etiquette and vehicle control, you reduce risk to goods in transit, protect the safety of your team, and safeguard the reputation of your business.
If you want this to lean more operational, more compliance-focused, or more client-facing, I can adjust the emphasis.
Feedback from businesses we’ve trained
Having taken on a member of staff who hadn’t ridden an e-cargo bike before, I knew the team at Pedal Me were the ones to go to for comprehensive e-cargo training. I knew my staff would come back as much more confident, safer road users which is extremely important to us as a company.
— Cycling SparksThe training course was brilliantly designed, catering to both beginners and seasoned cyclists alike. The knowledgeable trainers guided us through every step, ensuring we gained a comprehensive understanding of how to navigate, operate, and maximise the potential of these marvellous electric cargo bikes. What truly made this training course exceptional was the hands-on experience. The Pedal Me trainers were patient, encouraging, and always ready with helpful tips and tricks to boost our confidence in riding these new types of cargo vehicles.
— London Borough of IslingtonThe training boosted the confidence of the team when riding with heavy loads, and highlighted the importance of a positive demeanour when riding in the city. Having had the training from Pedal Me helps satisfy suppliers that their kit is safe when it’s on our bike.
