Free cycle training is happening across Scotland

Bikeability Scotland is the national cycle training programme for school children, building the skills and confidence they need to cycle on the road now and into adulthood. 

Just like learning to swim, learning to cycle on the road is an essential life skill. A skill that every child in Scotland deserves the chance to develop during their time at school. Bikeability Scotland offers a comprehensive training programme for children that covers everything from pre-ride safety checks and road signals to hazard awareness and bike checks.

For children, the benefits of Bikeability Scotland can include:

• Improving their hazard awareness
• Improving the confidence of both pupils and their parents, to cycle more after training
• Promoting active lifestyles, with children more likely to cycle after training.

Bikeability Scotland is completely free to schools and their pupils. Cycling Scotland supports local authorities with practical advice, funding, and instructor training to start Bikeability Scotland in their schools.

Access information for schools, local authorities, parents and instructors below including tips on how to get Bikeability Scotland started in your area.
