Child cycle training
What they'll learn
All children's cycle training in London meets National Standards for Cycle Training. The award scheme for these standards is called Bikeability - the 'cycling proficiency for the 21st century'.
- Level 1 teaches basic cycle control skills in a safe, off-road environment. Essential preparation for higher levels
- Level 2 introduces on-road cycling with other traffic. After completing level 2, they'll know how best to make journeys on quieter roads
- Level 3 teaches children how to cycle on busier roads and manage complex junctions. After completing Level 3, they'll be able to cycle anywhere in London
If your child's school doesn't currently run training, ask them to contact their local training officer about setting some up.
We're working with the London boroughs to make Bikeability the standard for child cycle training.
