It’s like cycling proficiency, but better!
Bikeability is today’s cycle training programme. It’s about gaining practical skills and understanding how to cycle on today’s roads.
Bikeability Cycle Training gives everyone the confidence to get out on their bikes and enjoy all the additional benefits that cycling brings.
There’s a Bikeability level to suit you, whether you’re just starting out or want to use your bike more safely and more often. Our professional instructors will help you develop better, safer cycling habits.
The training is funded by the Department of Transport. It has been running for over 12 years. During this time Cyclewise, in partnership with Cumbria County Council have delivered training to over 50,000 children.
Bikeability Cycle Training is about gaining practical skills and understanding how to cycle on today’s roads. It is the only government-recognised cycle training scheme underpinned by national standards. All providers delivering this training must operate within a quality assurance system. This ensures training is delivered to the highest standards.
Bikeability trained cyclists receive a badge and a certificate in recognition of the level they’ve achieved. The certificate also includes areas for further practice noted by the instructor.
Bikeability Levels 1 & 2 are delivered to children in either in primary Year 5 or Year 6. Level 3 is delivered in secondary school.
Please do not hesitate to contact us or your school to find out when that training will be taking place.
Cycle training providers delivering Bikeability must use professional National Standard Instructors. They should operate within a quality assurance system.
The Cyclewise Bikeability team are fully qualified ‘National Standard Instructors’. As an ‘Accredited Bikeability Provider’ we are able to give out badges and certificates to all participants.
All instructors are all fully enhanced DBS checked, have first aid qualifications and also hold many other coaching, leadership, and maintenance qualifications.
They regularly undertake other training courses to ensure their Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This enhances our reputation as one of the most qualified training providers in the U.K.
Our instructors all live in Cumbria and know the roads and area very well. Above all, they are all regular cyclists and very passionate about what they do. They are extremely proud and excited to be developing the cyclists of the future. Last year we reached the amazing total of 50,000 children trained in Cumbria.
