Cyclesafe - more people cycling, more safely and more often

Here at Cyclesafe our experienced and enthusiastic instructors aim to get more people cycling and more safely through the new Bikeability cycletraining scheme.

Bikeability - is the new cycle training scheme for the 21st century and has been introduced all over the country to give children and adults the skills and confidence to ride their bikes safely on todays roads.

Bikeability - has been developed and approved by Central Government and leading cycling organisations including Cycling England, the Cyclists’ Touring Club and Sustrans.

The scheme progressively trains people to cycle step by step from complete beginners to an advanced level. and has three levels of training, Level 1 is split into 2 parts. See below for the 3 levels of training and then click on syllabus to find out what is covered at each level

Level 1A is aimed at people who have never ridden a bike and gets them riding at a basic level off road

Level 1B develops cycle control skills and is taught off road. People will be able to cycle safely on ‘off road’ paths after this level. It also develops all the control skills needed for the road. Anyone wanting to learn to ride on the road needs to satisfactorily complete this level first.

Level 2 teaches trainees how to ride on road safely and assertively. Trainees will be able to cycle on quiet roads after completing this training level.

Level 3 uses skills learnt in Levels 1B and 2 and teaches trainees to cycle on and through busy multi-lane roads and junctions. Cyclists will be able to cycle confidently on most roads after this level.

Our Training Areas

CycleSafe's base is in the village of Robertsbridge, East Sussex where we have a risked assessed road training site and arrangements with the local primary school to use the playground for Level 1 Courses. From Robertsbridge we can cover up to a radius of 15 miles including Hastings and Tunbridge Wells.
