Reading Borough Council offers Bikeability to all schools across Reading. These courses are based on the National Cycle Training Standard and aim to give children the skills and confidence to ride their bikes safely on today’s roads.

Our Bikeability scheme is delivered in partnership with Avanti Cycling and run by fully trained and security vetted personnel.

We offer three levels of core Bikeability training courses:

Level 1 – children learn how to control their bicycles and show are ready to start on-road training.

Level 2 – children learn to cycle safely with real traffic on quiet roads.

Level 3 – teaches safe cycling skills on busy roads and through complex junctions

We also offer the following Bikeability Plus courses:

Balance – 4 to 7 year old children learn to develop those crucial early cycle handling and awareness skills using games on balance bikes, trikes and adapted cycles

Learn to Ride – For riders who can balance, this module is designed for anyone who has yet to master pedalling. Suitable for any age.

Family – A course to help people living in the same household to cycle together. By the end of the module, at least one adult householder should have demonstrated National Standard assessment criteria at least to Bikeability Level https://avanticycling.co.uk/family_courses/
