As e-bike use grows, we’re adapting to the changing cycling landscape and helping our instructors respond safely.

At Bikeability, we’ve developed new guidance covering the specific considerations around training, legal requirements and sharing space.

The school run is changing.

Almost 196,700 children received cycle training through Bikeability between 2021/22 and 2025/26.

Skills and confidence can help children travel more independently, especially when supported by measures such as School Streets.

"Many adults are locked out of cycling because they haven't got road confidence. CycleIn changes that." 🚴
