Cycle proficiency for the 21st Century
About Bikeability
Somerset Road Safety delivers National Standard Cycle Training through the Bikeability scheme.
We deliver combined Level 1 and 2 Bikeability courses predominantly in Primary schools for pupils in Year 5 and 6. The Bikeability Level 1 and 2 course is usually a two day course aimed to inform children about road safety and teach children how to cycle safely on the road.
Day One of the course consists of a road safety talk and cycling activities (such as how to perform a bike check and signalling) performed on the school’s playground. If a child is considered safe by our instructor(s) to cycle supervised on the road, the child will then be invited to take part on Day Two of the course. Day Two involves on-road cycling and how to carry out manoeuvres (such as turning into a minor/major road and passing parked cars) safely.

We run Bikeability programmes as part of our effort to achieve casualty reduction targets. Bikeability provides an opportunity for cyclists to develop basic rider skills in order to cope with modern road conditions. For further information about the course please see the Bikeability website.
