Bikeability Rides Information
To reward those primary schools which do great work in the borough to promote sustainable travel and its benefits, Havering Council is offering free places to pupils and parents on 12 local guided cycle rides led by qualified cycling instructors.
There are two route options, off-road with optional on-road sections, one starting and finishing from the Ingrebourne Valley Visitor Centre in Hornchurch and the other from RSPB Rainham Marshes.
There will be a friendly, supportive environment suitable for families and children, with two national standard instructors leading the rides (maximum 12 riders per ride).

Risk assessment and safeguarding
Bikeability Ride is delivered by qualified National Standards Cycling Instructors (NSIs) registered with the Department for Transport. Instructors will undertake a thorough site-specific risk assessment before each session and continue to assess risk throughout the session. A copy of risk assessment documentation will be available to you prior to the start of the session.
