Bikeability is the 21st century version of cycling proficiency, giving the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today’s roads. There is always more to learn and to enjoy on a bike, so children are encouraged to achieve all three Bikeability levels.
Portsmouth City Council offers free Bikeability training up to level 2 for every year six child in the city (and some year five) this academic year, if they attend Portsmouth schools that encourage cycling as a means of transport to and from school.
The Mountbatten Centre offers a range of cycling sessions for children of all ages and abilities, including junior biking academy, open biking and baby bikers.
Led by trained coaches, the sessions aim to help children learn how to safely ride a bicycle, gain cycling confidence and learn road safety skills.
Cost £3.50 per child.
Participants who do not own a bicycle are able to use the centre’s cycling equipment.
