Bikeability training
About this activity
Suitable for primary and secondary school pupils. Supports the PE, PSHE and Citizenship National Curriculum.
NB: We’re bringing together all the TfL education programmes, including STARS, under one exciting new umbrella programme called TfL Travel for Life. They will be the same great programmes, but with a new name and a new look, easier online process and dedicated support team. STARS for primary schools will be renamed TfL Explorers. STARS for secondary schools will be renamed TfL Pioneers.
Bikeability is a cycle training programme designed to give pupils the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on the road. The training is delivered by all 33 London boroughs and is available for free to schools across the Capital.
There are three levels of Bikeability training:
- Control and master your bike in an off-road environment
- Cycle on-road and deal with traffic on short journeys
- Tackle a wider variety of more challenging road and traffic conditions (suitable for competent cyclists of secondary-school age)
Contact your borough officer for more information and to book training for your school.
Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools can adapt Bikeability training to their pupils' needs. Watch this video to see how West Lea School, an SEN secondary school in Enfield, got their pupils cycling.
