Cycle Training Bikeability

Every ride starts with confidence

Fun, friendly and nationally recognised cycle training that helps children build the skills they need to ride safely and confidently on today’s roads.

Bikeability is a nationally recognised cycling programme that’s supported millions of young riders through schools across the UK. With three progressive levels, children learn everything from balance and bike control to road awareness, signalling and independent journey planning.
