Bikeability Level 2

Congratulations to our latest batch of Bikeability pupils who have all been awarded their Level 2.

Level 2 Bikeability takes place on local streets, giving you a real cycling experience. Our pupils were taught how to deal with traffic on short journeys (such as cycling to school or the local shops).

By completing Bikeability Level 2 and collecting their orange badge, they have shown that they are able to:

• Start and finish a journey by road, including passing parked or slower moving vehicles and side roads
• Make a u-turn
• Identify and react to hazards in the road
• Signal your intentions to other road users when someone needs to know what you’re doing
• Understand where to ride on the road
• Use junctions, including turning left and right into major and minor roads
• Decide whether a cycle lane will help your journey
• Use the Highway Code, particularly when it comes to understanding road signs

Now that they have passed this test, the children are eligible for our Cycle Club, which runs monthly. We are also able to offer trips to the Velodrome and Redbridge Cycle Centre to further develop their skills.
