The Bikeability Level 1 course aims to develop mastery in cycle handling in an off-road environment and prepare riders for cycling on the road. Riders must be able to cycle (i.e. pedal and glide) to participate in Bikeability Level 1.

Bikeability is government-recognised, practical and professional training, and we know that cyclists are more skilled and more confident once they’ve taken part. Riders will usually be trained in a group of 3-12, though individual training may also be available in your area.

AT LEVEL 1 RIDERS:

• Prepare themselves for a journey
• Check the cycle is ready for a journey
• Set off, pedal, slow down and stop
• Pedal (including looking behind, cycling one handed, turning and controlling speed)
