Cycle training for adults and children

Cyclox has linked up with local cycle instructors qualified to teach to Bikeability cycle training. Bikeability is the national standard for cycle training.   There are 3 levels in the NS training:

Level 1a is learning to ride a bike from the start, getting on, pedalling, balancing, steering and stopping.

Level 1b assumes you can ride a bike and checks and develops bike control skills off the road.

Level 2 is about learning to ride on quiet roads, overtake cars and cycles, and doing basic junction manoeuvres, turning left and right.

Level 3 is about complex junctions on busier roads, suitable for teenagers and adults.

Local instructors can offer training tailored to individual needs, such as training for specific journeys, e.g. for riding on Cowley Road; and to family groups on how a parent and child should ride together.
