Bikeability is the Department for Transport’s national award provider for cycle training in England.
[1] Primarily for children and young people, it is a progressive programme where riders will first master cycle handling skills in motor-traffic-free environments (Level 1), then develop their skills and confidence to cycle on single-lane roads and simple junctions with mostly moderate motor traffic flows (Level 2), before tackling busier/ or faster roads, and complex junctions (Level 3).
The standard provides the basis for Bikeability and a range of adult cycle training schemes.
They are intended to complement and support Bikeability training (Levels 1, 2 and 3) which is aimed at improving the cycling skills and confidence of trainees who can already ride.
[7] Bikeability is funded by the Department for Transport and delivered through registered training providers.
