Cycle Training Information

Cycle Awareness Courses (RoSPA Righttrack)

Cycle Awareness courses are run alongside the new national programme. These courses are primarily run in schools with the help of volunteers and parents.

Bikeability Courses

Somerset Road Safety delivers the New National Standard Cycle Training programme (Levels 1, 2 and 3) as part of its efforts to achieve casualty reduction targets. Bikeability provides an opportunity for cyclists to develop basic rider skills to cope with modern road conditions. The courses aim to provide a broader range of training for all ages, (Level 1 for children 8 years and under, Level 2 and 3 for students 9 years and above including teenagers and adults).

Somerset Road Safety is looking to increase the availability of such courses as new instructors are recruited and trained.
