Bikeability training gets local children set for healthy commute to school

Schools across west Cheshire are making the most of free Bikeability training to ensure their pupils have the skills to get on their bikes and cycle to and from school.

Cheshire West and Chester Council’s Road Safety team works closely with Bike Right to ensure everyone has the training they need to take to pedal power.

Schools in the borough can request free Bikeability training to levels 1, 2 and 3 as well as Bikeability Plus Balance and Learn to Ride. To enquire about or book training in your school, please contact Bike Right.

Pupils at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School completed their Bikeability training in September 2025. This video explains what is covered in the training.

Adult and Family Training

If you live, work or study in Cheshire West and Chester, and are aged 18 or over, Adult Cycling Training is available. You can get tailored training at a level suited to your needs, all based on the National Cycle Training Standards and split into easy to understand modules.

Family Cycle Skills is a free, fun training package to help people cycle together. The training will enable families to plan enjoyable group rides, switch from driving to cycling the school run, help other family members to develop their cycling skills and grow their confidence.

Sessions can be up to six people and there needs to be at least one child and one adult on each session. For more details and to book a place visit Family Cycle Skills (bikeright.co.uk).
