School Bikeability
Bikeability is the government programme to give everyone the competence and confidence to make cycling the norm for short journeys.
In schools this means supporting children from early years with balance bike skills and progressing their skills to enable them to cycle to school on local roads by years 5 and 6. We invite you to take part in this fantastic programme and give your children the opportunity to learn some great life skills. See below for details.
Bikeability Level 1
Level 1 is all about building your cycling skills and preparation in an off-road setting, normally on the school playground in a 2 hour session.
Most children take part in Level 1 at school during Year 3 or 4.
It’s great fun and our instructors incorporate lots of games to build those key foundational skills.
Bikeability Level 2
Level 2 is all about preparing your child for short journeys such as cycling to school. It is available for children in years 5 & 6.
Training usually takes place over two or four consecutive days, starting with building confidence in the playground on day 1 (Level 1 skills) followed by three sessions on local roads. In total, this is normally 8 hours.
