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.
