Dear Parents and Carers,
Next month, each Year 5-6 child will have the opportunity to take part in a cycling course run by the Dudley Road Safety team. All Y5-6 children will have a 2-day training course between 17th Nov and 25th Nov. More details will be sent nearer the date, but we thought it would be helpful to inform you of what the children will need in order to take part.
Minimum requirements for participation
To take part your child:
- Must be able to ride a bike without stabilisers and be ready to learn how to ride on the road.
- Will need a suitably sized bike that is in a roadworthy condition
- Must have two working brakes on their bike
- Should wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and activity, to include gloves, suitable footwear for cycling, and a waterproof coat if the weather is cold
- Are advised to wear a helmet during training
Please note, The Dudley Road Safety and Travel Awareness Team only offer Bikeability Level 2 (which includes a level 1 recap) to children in Year 5 or 6. They are no longer providing cycling training for Year 3-4, so all children will take part in a 2-year rolling programme when they are in Year 5 or in Year 6.
Many thanks,
