Cycle Skills for children
Bikeability is a cycle training programme for children which takes place in schools. 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
All Bikeability training follows the Bikeability Trust delivery guidance. If your child's school doesn't offer Bikeability, you can search for courses in your area.
