Cycling Now - 30th and 31st May 2013 May 2013
Kingsdown School is running a free Half Term Level 3 Cycling Course for all year 7, 8's and 9's on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st May 2013.
Bikeability is the Cycling Proficiency Test for the 21st Century, designed to give the next generation of
children the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. To get their Bikeability Award,
children will be instructed on how to ride their bikes to the Government approved National Standard for Cycle Training, which sets out the training and skills essential for making cycling trips in today's road
conditions. The standard has been developed by over 20 organisations and is maintained by the
professional body for cycle training, the Cycle Training Standards Board.
Bikeability is not just about teaching children to ride a bike and equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge needed to ride a bike safely throughout the rest of their life. It's also about introducing them to cycling as an everyday activity - an alternative mode of transport, an enjoyable pastime, which brings a healthier lifestyle and ultimately lots of fun. Bikeability will give children a life skill that once they've learnt, they will never forget.
