Bikeability is the national cycle training programme designed to equip children with the skills and confidence to ride safely and responsibly on today’s roads. Through a progressive programme of practical training, pupils develop essential cycling skills that help them become competent, confident and independent cyclists.

The programme is delivered through three levels, with children encouraged to build their knowledge and experience as they progress. Based on the National Standard for Cycle Training, Bikeability provides high-quality, up-to-date instruction that reflects modern road conditions and promotes safe cycling for a variety of journeys, including travelling to and from school.

At Dallimore, children in KS2 can take part in Bikeability each year until they have successfully completed the programme, allowing them to build their skills, confidence and road awareness as they progress through the different levels of training. This flexible approach ensures that every child can progress at a pace that suits their experience and confidence while developing the knowledge and practical skills needed to become safe and responsible cyclists.

By taking part in Bikeability, children develop greater road awareness, independence and confidence, learning lifelong skills that support healthy, active travel both now and in the future.
