Confidence. Safety. Independence.
Bikeability is the national cycle training programme supported by the Department for Transport and designed to give riders the practical skills, confidence and awareness to cycle safely on today’s roads. Whether you're a beginner, a returning cyclist, or want to sharpen your on-road skills, Bikeability equips you with everything you need to ride with confidence on the roads.
Here at All Mountain Guided Rides, we offer fully accredited Bikeability training for individuals, families, and small groups of all ages and abilities. Whether you're 8 or 80, there's a level for you.
What are the Bikeability levels?
It’s human nature that if something is too difficult, or too much of a challenge we lose heart and get fed up, but if something is too easy we get bored. Bikeability provides the ‘sweet spot’ of matching individual ability to training requirements.
Bikeability is a progressive programme across 3 levels so all riders can develop their skills confidently.
Bikeability Level 1 – Mastering the Basics
Who’s it for?
Riders who are new to cycling or still building their core skills. Ideal for children, beginners, or those returning to cycling after time away. It takes place off-road so you can learn the required skills in a traffic free environment.
What’s covered?
Basic bike handling skills including learning to pedal one handed
Starting, braking, stopping, and steering
Looking behind and signalling
Simple control and awareness in a traffic-free space
Duration and cost
1-2 hours | £40 per person *
* Discounts available for 2+ riders (12 riders max)
Bikeability Level 2 – Confident road riding
Who’s it for?

Confident cyclists ready to tackle busier roads, roundabouts, and complex traffic situations – including adults on their daily commute, or older children moving on to independent journeys. Every Level 3 course is tailored to your own needs. It might focus on a skill you might want to practice more, or a tricky road where you travel often.
