Bikeability 2017
Year 4 were given an excellent opportunity to provide free Bikeability Training at Level 1. This programme was designed to make the children more competent cyclist and prepare them for eventually cycling on the road. Training was carried out by Cycle Confident, Barnet’s cycle training providers and was delivered by two fully accredited National Standards cycling instructors with enhanced DBS checks. The Instructors showed the children how to check their bikes at the start of the first session and ensure that each child's bike was safe for training purposes.
The children throroughly enjoyed the workshop. Here are some quotes from the children before and after the session.
Before the two day workshop:
"I was nervous and not confident to ride a bike."
"I was worried about falling off my bike."
"I did not enjoy riding a bike."
"I did not feel confident to ride a bike."
After the two day workshop:
"I am much more confident with riding a bike."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop."
"I have more confidence with getting on the bike and knowing what to do if I fall off."
"I enjoyed the experience of riding my bike."
