The Bike Academy

Wow what a term! Since Easter we’ve been on the go and making up for lost time! We’ve delivered Bikeability Level 1, 2 & 3 Courses across 18 Schools to nearly 500 children through our sister company and Balance Biking sessions to hundreds of children too. That’s lots of young people gaining vital cycling skills.

Now to sit back, relax and get bookings in for the Autumn Term and beyond! Have a lovely summer everyone!

As schools remain open during new national restrictions, we're pleased that the UK Government Department for Education have recognised the importance of Bikeability cycle training and active travel “to enable pupils to be physically active while encouraging physical distancing.”

We've updated our Covid-19 FAQs in light of the latest guidance and all grant providers and delivery partners have now received this update by email. You can also read the updated addendum on our website, under Covid-19 Guidance: https://professionals.bikeability.org.uk/documents/

Did you know that two-thirds of all car journeys in Britain are less than 5 miles long? That's less than 25 minutes by bike 🚗➡️🚲
