Level 2 Onto the Road
For children 10 years plus and adults
Level 2 Bikeability 2 training gives the trainee a real cycling experience and develops the skills and confidence to manage light to medium traffic situations on short journeys. Book a private course, get a group together or keep an eye on the home page for any courses coming up.
Trainees receive a certificate on completion of the course and a level 2 badge if skills are performed at a competent level.
Trainees need to demonstrate they are competent with the Level 1 skills before continuing on to Level 2. This will normally be at a separate session at one of our Level 1 training sites.
If you have a child of at least 10 years who has already achieved Bikeability 1 with another training establishment the competencies will still need to be reviewed at this session.
