Bikeability

  • Award Levels

 

Level 1 is taught in a traffic-free environment, and children learn the basics of how to control their bike and make an off-road trip, for example, on cycle paths.

Level 2 is covered on quiet roads but in real traffic conditions. Children achieving level 2 will be able to make a trip to school or elsewhere on small roads.

Level 3 incorporates busy roads, traffic lights, roundabouts and other advanced road features. Children will not usually be taught this until they start secondary school.
