In Year 5, you get the chance to take part in an activity called Bikeability. Bikeability is when two trained bikers come into school and teach students about road safety. They come in and take Year 5 (who maybe aren’t that confident on the roads) out and help build their confidence. This includes lots of helpful things like: how to fix a chain if it falls off,  staying visible on the road and lots more helpful tips to keep you safe.

We asked Mr Ord who organises the event some questions:

Why do you organise bikeability?

So that the children can learn road safety.

Do you feel the children benefit from this experience?

Yes definitely!  

Is this opportunity popular?

Yes, about 50 Year 5s take part.

How long do the students, do it for?

3-4 days.
