Your child will need a bike which is in a roadworthy condition to take part in Bikeability. The Highway Code’s ‘Rules for Cyclists’gives some pointers as to what condition is expected for on-road cycling, but, as a starting guide, your child’s bike should be the right size for them, have pumped up tyres and two working brakes. Instructors will show children how to check their bikes at the start of the first session, and will ensure that your child’s bike is safe for them to complete the training on.

Bikeability is today’s cycle training programme. It’s like cycling proficiency, but better! It’s about gaining practical skills and understanding how to cycle on today’s roads. Bikeability gives everyone the skills and confidence for all kinds of cycling.

For more information please look at the 'Bikeability website'.

If anyone needs to borrow a bike for this event, please contact Mr Cole as soon as possible.
