Cycle Skills for children
Bikeability training can take place in schools for vulnerable children and children of key workers at the discretion of the headteacher. It must follow the Bikeability Trust delivery guidance.
Bikeability is a cycle training programme for children. They can complete three levels of training through their primary and secondary school:
- Bikeability level 1 - learn to control your cycle off-road
- Bikeability level 2 - cycle safely on the quiet roads
- Bikeability level 3 - cycle safely on busy roads and at junctions
If your child's school doesn't offer Bikeability, you can search for courses in your area.
Borrow a cycle
If you don't have a cycle, you may be able to borrow one from your local borough cycling team.
