Meet our team of Bike Safety Professionals

 

The team at Pedal Set Go have years of experience teaching people of all ages how to ride a bicycle in the city, safely and with confidence.

 

Jules Lawrence Founder | Lead Educator

As the Founder and Lead Educator, Jules brings contagious enthusiasm, inclusivity, and approachability to the world of cycling education.

Jules embarked on her cycling journey in her 30s, transitioning from motorbiking to biking amidst the diverse cultures of Europe. Her passion for bike riding blossomed, leading her to pedal her way from London to Sydney in 18 months. Her heart lies in the belief that the joy of biking and micro-adventures is right at our doorstep.

In a past life, Jules is a qualified cabinetmaker, infusing her love for craftsmanship into her unique approach to teaching. Coupled with a touch of health and safety savvy, Jules ensures that every learning experience is not just fun but also conducted with utmost care.

Jules rides with flair, often opting for self-built bamboo bikes, folding wonders, electric bikes and cargo bike carriers, reflecting her commitment to sustainable and unique experiences.

Teaching someone to ride a bike is often a journey laden with nerves, but Jules transforms fear into fun. Her teaching style is rooted in making the learning process inclusive, enjoyable, and, most importantly, approachable. With Jules by your side, every wobble is a step closer to two-wheeled triumph.

Join Jules on a ride of laughter, learning, and liberation. Because at Pedal Set Go, we believe that everybody can ride, and the adventure begins right outside your door. Let's roll!

Li Ditlef-Nielsen Partner | Educator

Li is a fervent advocate for active transport, having navigated various cities on two wheels since the age of 12.

Prior to being an expedition world traveller, Li was a cycle messenger in London and trained at Brixton Cycle Co-op. Li brings a wealth of experience and a motivating spirit. As the lead maintenance instructor at Pedal Set Go, Li is not just a bike rider but an expert in helping others see their full potential in maintaining their own bikes. She successfully encouraged colleagues to opt for biking over other modes of transport and provided valuable advice to employers on end-of-trip facilities.

An enthusiastic tourer, Li embraces challenges, from festival trips to camping and cross-continental adventures. Steering clear of lycra, she finds joy in the challenge of carrying diverse cargo, be it cats, cupcakes, or camping gear.

Beyond bikes, Li's health background emphasises the physical and mental benefits of biking. Her excitement peaks with the discovery of the expansive carrying capacity of her electric cargo bike, showcasing a commitment to innovative and sustainable cycling solutions.

Li is also the brains behind Jules & Li’s expedition bamboo bike build, which saw them safely travel from London to Sydney with no significant mechanical issues. Join Li in making biking not just a mode of transport but a lifestyle. Pedal Set Go is built upon Li’s sharing of passion, knowledge, and love for a greener lifestyle. Let's pedal together towards a future of adventure and sustainable transport!
