Bikeablility Levels

Level 1

 

Level 1 is an exciting gateway to starting your cycling adventure.

 

A journey of many miles starts with the first step. Level 1 takes place off-road, normally on the school playground.

 

This means that children can learn in a traffic-free environment.

Level 2

 

Level 2 teaches children how to grow more confident with each turn of the pedal.

 

Our expert instructors will lead riders onto quiet roads, to experience “real” cycling.

 

Level 2 can feel like the biggest step for both you and your child – it’s cycling on the actual road! But with our instructors on hand, your child will feel confident and safe in no time at all.

Level 3

 

In level 3 your child will learn more advanced skills, including how to:

 

Use the best riding position for any situation

Ride alongside other cyclists

Ride on more complex roads. This might include busier roads, more complicated junctions or faster roads with speed limits above 30mph.

Negotiate more complex roads. For example, junctions controlled by traffic lights, multi-lane roads or cycle lanes.
