Get Your School Cycling with Bikeability Scotland

**“I also like when you’re pedalling really fast and the wind is coming right in your face or when it’s raining, you feel like you’re a superhero trying to find a missing person!” **The words of Olivia, a pupil at Tayview Primary School in Dundee, as she took part in Bikeability Scotland training.  

We recognise how busy the start of the new school year can be, particularly the first couple of weeks back in the classroom. It’s an intense time with lots of asks and competing priorities.  

One of the (many) benefits of Bikeability Scotland training is that you can get started at any time. Cycle training can be taken at any point during the year, at a time that suits your school, and over the next four editions we’ll be sharing updates and information to help you get up and running.  

For the time being, the key points to know are: 

• Bikeability Scotland is a progressive, in-school cycle training programme
