The session will consist of a series of fun riding skills activities which prepares them for Level 2.

Bikeability Level 2

Ideally riders will have completed a Bikeability Level 1 course previously but to take part on this course riders must be able to ride their bicycle without assistance and be able to ride with one hand for at least three seconds in control so as to be able to signal. Instructors will assess each rider before going out on the road. The instructors decision will be final.

Bikeability Level 3

Riders must have completed a Bikeability Level 2 course previously and have received the Level 2 orange coloured certificate and badge. Riders should be familiar with riding on roads and able to demonstrate Level 2 skills, again the instructors decision will be final.

The Level 3 course will include riding on busier roads, traffic light controlled junctions, roundabouts etc as well as discussing route planning and whether to use cycling infrastructure.
