Cycle skills and awareness training courses for children
from aged 6 years upwards are coordinated by the Road Safety Team.
We have a small team of part time cycle training instructors who
are available to train both in and out of school time.
The majority of training is carried out through schools, but
one-to-one training can be arranged by request.
Basic Biking Skills
This newly developed course is being piloted in 2004 and we hope
to offer it more widely during the Summer Term of 2005. It is a two
hour off road course for pupils of 6 years and older teaching basic
cycling manoeuvres and the rules when cycling on off road cycle
routes.
Cycle Awareness Training
This is a six hour course for 10 year olds and above. After a
session in the school playground the training takes place on the
road.
The children receive a Certificate on successful completion of
the course.
