2023 BIKEABILITY – LEVEL 2 (suitable for school year 5 and above)- BOOKING CLOSED!

Requirements: Riders MUST have completed and passed Bikeability Level 1 to participate in this course. If you have not yet completed Bikeability Level 1, Jersey Sport will be offering this course over the holidays for you to book on to.   

Things to bring: a roadworthy bike, a helmet that fits correctly & free from cracks, water bottle and some snacks in a backpack your child can ride with. Suitable clothing (loose items like skirts, baggy trousers and unzipped jackets are not suitable for cycling). 

The Bikeability Level 2 course aims to develop riders’ skills and confidence for cycling on single-lane roads and simple junctions with mostly moderate motor traffic flows (where riders encounter vehicles with progressively greater frequency in each module), and prepares riders for cycling on more complex, often busier or faster roads and junctions. Riders must have fully demonstrated that they are confident with the  Bikeability Level 1 assessment criteria before they start Bikeability Level 2 training.  

At level 2 riders learn to: 

• Cycle safely, responsibly, identify and respond to hazards 

• Start and stop on-road journeys 
• Maintain suitable riding positions in the road 
• Share the road with others and communicate with other road users 
• Comply with signals, signs and road markings 
• Manage risk whilst cycling 

• Negotiate junctions (pass side roads, turn at T junctions and crossroads). 

We highly encourage you to bring your own bike if you have access to one. However, Jersey sport have a small fleet of bikes available for loan upon prior request on a first come first serve basis. Please email cycleteam@jerseysport.je with your child’s height (cm), inside leg length (cm) and the dates/course your child will be attending If you would like to arrange the loan of a bike / helmet for one of our courses.
