Many will remember the old Cycling Proficiency Test. This has been replaced by the National Standards of Cycle Training, under the brand name ‘Bikeability’. Haddenham Cycle Training was set up by a voluntary group of parents in 2005 and now comprises an enthusiastic team of five fully qualified instructors ably supported by voluntary assistants, all delivering Bikeability training in Haddenham and the surrounding area. Within the community of Haddenham and the surrounding area, our aim is to promote safe cycling, to improve the safety, health and well being of children and adults
The children are trained and assessed through several Bikeability Levels until it is felt they are ready to venture unaccompanied on the roads. The training is both practical and theoretical, and it encourages the children to be and feel safe, thereby avoiding, or at least reducing, the temptation to cycle on pavements!
We run Cycle Training Programmes in Haddenham's schools and other establishments within the County of Buckinghamshire. We also organise cycling events and activities that will increase cycling opportunities and promote safe cycling.
Any surplus income after costs directly associated with running Cycle Training Programmes have been met, is used to improve cycling facilities at Haddenham's schools and within the local community. We mainly offer cycle training to schools, but we also provide training to groups, individuals or families. We have successfully run tailored training for adults who feel they need to improve their confidence on a bike, or who simply want to know what their children are being taught!
Haddenham Cycle Training always welcomes more volunteers and we would especially love to hear from Dads or Grandads, as we are primarily a group of working Mums at present!
