For many years the Cycling Safety School has been delivering safety training courses and road skills round the country. Our standard delivery is in primary schools, through weekly classes which last approximately one hour and carry on over six sessions. Starting with the importance of ensuring safe equipment, through starting positions and safe stopping and on through turning and traffic techniques, students learn skills which apply just as readily to pedestrians and drivers. From the premise that all road users must control speed and be absolutely aware of their surroundings, we teach students techniques to increase their skills and awareness once they step outside the hall door.
Room 4 and Room 5 have been taking part in the Cycling Safety Programme every Friday. Here they are in action.
