Description

If you signed your year 5 child up to take part in bikeability, this will take place this week.

What your child will need for each training session

If you would like your child to take part in the cycle training but they have not got a bicycle and/or helmet, it may be possible to borrow these from Pedal Power Training. To borrow a bike and or helmet, please indicate on the booking form above. The minimum seat height of Pedal Power bikes is 750mm.

 

  • A bike which is roadworthy and the correct size for them - a bike check will be carried out on the day 1 and any bike which is not roadworthy will have to be fixed for your child to continue on the course (or a loan bike can be used). A roadworthy bike must have the following as a minimum – 2 fully inflated tyres, with good tread, 2 working brakes, secure handlebars, with correctly fitting secure grips. Saddle must be secure.
  • A cycle helmet - this needs to be the right size and a good fit.
  • Weather appropriate clothing (sessions are between 1 and 2 hours and are outside). Please make sure in wet weather that your child has a coat and that in warmer weather sun cream has been applied.
  • Some wet weather clothing e.g. a minimum of a shower or waterproof jacket, preferably some over-trousers too. The training will continue in light to moderate rain but will be suspended if there is a heavy downpour. Please ensure sun cream is applied in hot weather.
  • A High Visibility Jacket/Tabard/Vest

All sessions will run during school hours and your child will be notified of their session start time by the school prior to the course.
