About Bikeability On Road Training Level 1

LEVEL ONE is a course either for total beginners, those who have ridden in the past but lost their confidence or are too young to have much experience and need to have practise in a way that they can learn to enjoy riding without their stabilisers and have their confidence levels raised as their bike control skills become more second nature.

 Level 1 skills include:-

       Get on and off the bike without help
       Start off and pedal without help
       Stop without help
       Ride along without help for roughly one minute or more
       Make the bike go where they want
       Use their gears
       Stop quickly with control
       Manoeuvre safely to avoid objects
       Look all around, including behind, without wobbling
       Signal right and left without wobbling
       Carry out a simple bike check

In order to achieve level 1 the students should be able to demonstrate the above consistently.

NB. For Individual Tuition the methods used are totally different! (though the same principles apply). Also we take as much or as little time as any one individual needs; there are no maximums as everyone is different.
