Bikeability cycle training

Bikeability is the government’s national cycle training programme. It helps riders learn practical skills and understanding to ride on today’s roads. Bikeability is not just for children. Qualified Bikeability instructors help adults learn to ride, improve their confidence and develop their road skills too. 

We are working to:

  • nurture a culture of well-maintained/roadworthy bikes in Luton
  • instil a feeling of confidence and safety for cycle users in Luton
  • consistently demonstrate correct cycling position and ways of communicating to other road users
  • to increase the number of people using cycles confidently and regularly in and around Luton

Becoming a cycle instructor

The course covers the theory and practical required to reach the National Standard for Bikeability cycle instructors.

To become qualified you will need to attend a four day course and complete a post course assessment.

On completion of the course, you'll be able to:

  • train anyone from beginner to advanced riders following national standards for cycling
  • train adults and children
