Please tick the box before continuing:

I understand the skills the rider needsrequired to enrol on the course.

Your bike

Please ensure your cycle is in good working order.

Your cycle must be roadworthy. Could you check it before the training, please.

The ABC check (external link, opens in a new window) is the quickest check, and the M check (external link, opens in new window) is more thorough. BMX bikes must have both brakes fitted.

Our Instructors are authorised to make minor adjustments, with your consent, such as adjusting saddle height, but they are not cycle mechanics.

I understand that in order to take part in the training, I must have a roadworthy cycle.

Helmet

Please check your helmet is correctly fitted.

British law does not compel cyclists of any age to wear helmets but rule 59 of the Highway Code states: 'You should wear a cycle helmet that conforms to current regulations, is the correct size and securely fastened. Evidence suggests that a correctly fitted helmet will reduce your risk of sustaining a head injury in certain circumstances.'

We recommend that you wear a helmet that is correctly fitted (external link, opens in a new window).

I will wear a helmet Yes No
