This Bikeability Level 2 course is for children in year 6 and above who missed out on the opportunity to complete Bikeability Level 2 at their primary school.

Bikeability Level 2 teaches skills for cycling in traffic on quieter roads. Your child will learn how to independently:

  1. make good and frequent observations
  2. choose and maintain the most suitable riding position in the road
  3. communicate intentions clearly to others
  4. follow priorities, particularly at junctions

Trainees learn on roads with different traffic conditions but within a risk-assessed area. The course will begin in the playground where the instructor can assess the trainee’s current level of cycling skills. The training will then progress on to the road.

Our Instructors develop road cycling skills through explanation, demonstration and practical exercises on the road, with individual and group feedback.

At the end of the course, each trainee receives a badge and an assessment certificate. The certificate will help you with the further development of your child’s cycling skills.

This is a three day course - attendance is required every day of the course. This course will go ahead whatever the weather, so please send your child with appropriate clothing (particularly waterproofs and gloves).

Missing a day

If your child misses a day of the training

If your child misses part of the course, the Instructors will have to judge if they can rejoin. It might be that they cannot.

Instructors work within the national framework for Bikeability and this includes being 'rider-led', that is, progressing at a pace that suits the skills and needs of the group of children on the course.

In this way, each course varies.

The first session is an assessment in the playground to decide whether each child is able to start riding on the road. This session might take more time for one group than another. Another group might progress more quickly from practising at quiet junctions to practising on roads with moderate levels of traffic. 

Each day, the children are building on the skills they learned previously. 

If a child misses one day of a course, there may not be an opportunity for them to catch up with the rest of the group and so they will not be able to continue with the course.

If your child cannot complete a course after missing a day, we will look to transfer them to a later course, if there are any booked that have spaces left, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it. If your child cannot continue on a course through illness, or other unforeseen circumstance, we will refund the course fee.

Your child's age

Your child's year group

This training is for children in year 6 and above. Please confirm which year group your child is in.

Your child's cycle

Please ensure your child's cycle is in good working order

Your child's 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 child's consent, such as adjusting saddle height, but they are not cycle mechanics.

We may also need to lock the bikes in case we go inside so please bring a suitable bike lock.

Please note, it is illegal for someone aged under 14 years to ride an electrically-assisted pedal cycle on the public highway, so such bikes cannot be accepted on to the course.

Helmet

Please check your child's helmet is correctly fitted

Although the law does not compel cyclists of any age to wear helmets, 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.'

For this reason, we have made it compulsory for everyone participating in cycle training to wear a helmet. Instructors will be wearing helmets. The helmet should conform to to EN1078 or EN1080, please check for a label inside the helmet.

Just before the course, please make sure your child's helmet is correctly fitted - this 1 minute video shows how.

If there are any circumstances which may interfere with your child's ability to wear a helmet, please tell us below.

Medical needs

Does your child have any medical needs?

This information will help us to ensure we address all welfare needs. Please note, if your child needs to carry medication whilst cycling please make sure they have something to put it in.
