CYCLE TRAINING OVERVIEW .....

With Cycling's National Standards (aka Bikeability) bringing the old fashioned Cycling Proficiency into the 21st Century AND the CTC's new off road training scheme both of which have 3 levels, now there is something for everyone.,  Get in touch, it only takes a phone call after all ..


Level 1 is for complete novices in either discipline or those who simply haven't ridden for a while 
Level 2 is for those who already have good bike control skills wishing to progress further 
Level 3 is for those who want to push the boundaries having successfully completed/or
are competent to L2 standards
 

What's the difference between Bikeability and National Standards?

  • The training given is exactly the same. A National Standards course you get issued with a Level 1, 2 or 3 certificate, however, with a Bikeability course you get Bikeability branded certificates, badges and packs for levels participated in.

  • If one trains as an instructor, one becomes a National Standard Instructor (Cycling) however to issue Bikeability certificates etc. one has to have submitted their scheme for consideration, including documents such as H&S, Child Protection and  Equality Opportunities policy docs, Emergency and Complaints procedures to ensure they are in line with the Cycle Training Standards Board, as the governing organisation.  When the scheme is accepted, then a unique Bikeability number will be sent out to the applicant.

  • Alternatively instructors may work under the umbrella of an organisation whose scheme is Bikeability accredited just as we do with the SSP until such time as we have time to submit our own scheme.

ON ROAD CYCLING aka Bikeability - so what is Bikeability exactly?  Bikeability is taking the old fashioned Cycling Proficiency into the 21st century with three levels for complete novices to those more seasoned riders who want to cycle to school or work, taking into account the traffic and roads of today ..

It is designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. Bikeability is for both children and adults alike, who will be encouraged and inspired to achieve all three levels, recognising that there is always more to learn and to enjoy on a bike.  Whether you are a complete novice or someone who simply wants to go out with your children and/or grandchildren but traffic volumes and roads have changed so much that you feel intimidated, get in touch and let's work it through together ..

OFF ROAD CYCLING - the newly developed course from the CTC - The beginners skills courses cover everything you need to know to get you off on the right track and our intermediate/advanced courses are for people with off road riding experience looking to improve on technique ..

Whether you’re a beginner looking to get off on the right track or an experienced rider looking to refine your single track techniques our courses get the results your looking for.  Would you like to learn how to do a drop off, or descend a steep hill safely? Then the new Mountain Bike course could be for you ...
