Bikeability learn to ride is a nationally accredited learn to ride programme as part of the national Bikeability Plus scheme. The course is aimed at children aged 4+ years old who cannot ride bike. The course aims to develop a child's balance, co-ordination, gliding and stopping skills, ultimately achieving a key lifetime milestone - learning to ride a bike without stabilisers. All pupils from Year 4 and 5 did exceptionally well.
