two.1.4) Short description
Bikeability is 'cycling proficiency' for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. It is a national scheme, funded by the Department for Transport and run to national standards. There are three Bikeability levels, with each level designed to help improve children's cycling skills, no matter what they know already. The three Levels take trainees on a journey from the basics of balance and control, all the way through to planning and making a journey by themselves on busier roads. Children will typically start Bikeability lessons once they have learnt to ride a bike:
Level 1 will help new riders to control their bikes
Level 2 will help develop on-road skills and is usually tackled by children in Years 5 or 6, before
leaving primary school
Level 3 teaches trainees how to ride in different and more challenging traffic situations and is
usually completed by children of secondary school age
Bikeability Grant Funding allows the training to be delivered across the whole North Northamptonshire area. Cycle training in Northamptonshire is currently outsourced to a single contractor and is delivered via the Government's Bikeability scheme. North Northamptonshire Council offers Bikeability to all North Northamptonshire schools, including independents and youth groups (cubs, scouts, brownies, guides, etc.).
