Has your child missed out on Bikeability at school recently?

Would you like to gain some confidence with some on the road training? 

B-BUDDIES are able to provide Bikeability level 1, level 2, level 3 and Transition courses for both individuals and groups.

The hours and ratios vary depending on the amount of riders taking part therefore for groups of 3 or more please contact us for the price and hours required. These are set by The Department of Transport and Bikeability.

Riders must successfully complete level 1 before any training on the road and must successfully complete level 2 before moving onto level 3 or a transition course.

Bikeability is the only government-recognised cycle training scheme, underpinned by

national standards. Cycle training providers delivering Bikeability must use professional

National Standard Instructors and operate within our quality assurance system. Bikeability

is therefore a quality mark for cycle training, identifying cycle training delivered to the

highest standards.
