The National Standards for cycle training aim to promote a nationally agreed uniform syllabus and guidelines for all cycle training in the UK.

This consists of three levels that progress a cyclist from basic control skills, to riding on busy roads including multi-lane filtering techniques and busy roundabouts.
Anyone completing the syllabus will become a competent and confident rider able to ride their bike anywhere and in all conditions.

By establishing the National Standards, the Government has set out a nationwide, uniform programme of formal training which will reassure those wanting to cycle that they have been instructed in the essential skills and procedures wherever they live in England.

One of the UK’s most successful projects in bringing about travel behaviour change amongst our young people by enabling them to cycle to school.

Bike It is designed to give children the skills and confidence to travel under their own steam, and parents the peace of mind to let them.
