Bikeability in Doncaster
The Doncaster School Sport Partnerships have contracted cycle training providers, Cycling Experience, who will be offering free cycle training to the Boroughs Primary and Secondary schools. This is in addition to the training also offered to some schools through Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council’s Road Safety Team – if you have already received training this academic year and have other pupils that would like to take part you may be able to have another course.
All pupils will be instructed on how to ride their bikes to the Governments new National Standard for Cycle Training, which has been designed to give the next generation of cyclists the skills and confidence required to ride their bikes on today’s roads. All pupils will receive quality cycle training by fully qualified and accredited instructors in accordance with Bikeability which has replaced the old Cycling Proficiency test.
