For Everyone

Who Is Bikeability For?

Whether you’re a school looking to deliver cycle training, a parent wanting your child to learn safely, or an adult learning to ride for the first time – Bikeability is for you.

Schools

We work with primary and secondary schools across Shropshire to deliver high-quality Bikeability training directly on-site. Our fully managed service makes it easy for schools to offer this valuable life skill to their pupils.

What We Offer Schools:

  • Free training for pupils – delivered on behalf of Shropshire Council
  • Fully managed service – we handle all logistics and equipment
  • On-site delivery – training happens at your school
  • Qualified instructors – all National Standard certified
  • Flexible scheduling – we work around your timetable

Popular with Schools

Most schools book Learn To Ride training for younger pupils (Years 3-4) and Level 1 & 2 combined for older children (Years 5-6). We can tailor our delivery to suit your school’s needs.

Children

Learning to cycle is an important milestone for children. Our training helps young people develop confidence, independence, and a valuable life skill in a safe, supportive environment.

Benefits for Children:

  • Build confidence early – start with the basics and progress at their own pace
  • Learn safely – in controlled environments with expert instruction
  • Develop independence – gain the skills to cycle to school and activities
  • Stay active – cycling is a fun way to exercise and stay healthy

Age-Appropriate Training

We offer Balance training for 5-7 year olds, Learn To Ride for 7-10 year olds, Level 1&2 for 10-12 year olds, and Level 3 for 11-18 year olds. Each course matches the children’s developmental stage.

Families

Learning together as a family can be a rewarding experience. Our family sessions provide a supportive environment where parents and children can develop cycling skills side by side.

Why Choose Family Sessions:

  • Learn together – share the experience as a family
  • Build confidence as a group – support each other’s progress
  • Flexible scheduling – sessions designed around family availability
  • All abilities welcome – from complete beginners to improvers

Perfect for Weekend Activities

Family sessions are typically held on weekends and during school holidays, making them easy to fit around work and school commitments.

Adults

It’s never too late to learn to cycle or improve your cycling skills. Whether you’re learning for the first time or want to build confidence cycling on roads, our patient, supportive instructors can help.

Adult Training Options:

  • Learn at any age – our oldest student was 75!
  • Patient instruction – we understand adult learners have unique needs
  • Private or group sessions – choose what suits you best
  • Improve existing skills – not just for complete beginners

Build Your Confidence

Many adults want to cycle for commuting, fitness, or leisure but lack confidence. Our training helps you overcome fears and build the skills you need to cycle safely.
