Cycle training in school

Bikeability is today’s cycle training programme.  It’s about gaining practical skills and understanding how to cycle on today’s roads. Bikeability gives everyone the skills and confidence for all kinds of cycling.

There are three Bikeability levels, each designed to improve cycling skills, no matter what is known already. Levels 1, 2 and 3 take trainees from the basics of balance and control, all the way to planning and making an independent journey on busier roads.

Your school may already have signed up to receive Bikeability sessions! Contact your school directly to find out if sessions are scheduled for this year. Bikeability is available in Tees Valley in all five local authorities.  Bikeability Levels 1 & 2 are taught in either Year 5 or 6 and Level 3 in Year 7 (secondary school).
