Bikeability Level 1&2
We deliver combined Level 1 (off-road) and Level 2 (on-road) training to Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. This module aims to teach trainees to be confident and competent at cycling on quiet roads.
To attend this course, riders must be able to ride a bike (set off, pedal, slow down and stop). Trainees will need to show that they meet Level 1 assessment criteria to take part in Level 2.
We can train as many pupils as needed but may split them into groups to meet the legal instructor-to-rider ratio (maximum 12 riders per group with 2 instructors). At the end of their training, each rider will receive a Bikeability certificate, personalised feedback, and a badge, regardless of their level of achievement.
The course runs over two full school days as follows:
Day One
- 8:45 - Instructors will sign in to reception and present their DBS check documents
- 9:00 to 9:30 - Pupils leave their bikes on the playground for safety checks
- 9:30 to lunch break - Level 1 activities on the playground (morning break is included)
- End of lunch break to 3pm - Level 2 activities on low-traffic, risk-assessed roads
Day Two
- 8:45 - Instructors will sign in to reception
- 9:00 to lunch break - Level 2 activities on local risk-assessed roads (a morning break is included)
- End of lunch break to 3pm - Level 2 activities on low-traffic, risk-assessed roads
