Year 3 Bikeability – Level 1

On Thursday 1st May, many of the Year 3 pupils completed the Level 1 Bikeability training.

Level 1 equips participants with the skills to ride their bike with excellent control. The training is based around fun, practical games to encourage pupils to begin making off-road journeys by bicycle.

Level 1 takes place in 1x 2-hour session conducted entirely on the playground

Level 1 Activities:

• Pedal independently without stabilisers (this is not a learn to ride course)
• Apply brakes to bring the cycle to a smooth and quick stop
• Look behind over each shoulder while pedalling in a straight line
• Pedal one handed in a straight line
• Use gears (if present)
• Avoid hazards
