'Own The Ride' is for students in year 7 upwards who can ride competenty. It aims to encourage them to cycle safely on more challenging roads to and from school and includes many Bikeability Level 3 outcomes.

What does my child need to take part?
In terms of equipment, your child will need a bike which is in a roadworthy condition, the right size for them, have pumped up tyres and two working brakes. Instructors will show children how to check their bikes at the start of the first session and will ensure that your child’s bike is safe for training purposes. BMX bikes are permitted in most circumstances so long as the bike has working brakes, and has not been adapted to the extent that it is no longer suitable for use on the road. The instructors will have the final say on whether your child’s bike is safe for them to complete the training on but allowances will be made wherever possible.

What if my child does not have a bike?
BikeRight may be able to arrange for your child to borrow a bike for the training. Please check this with your school.

Can my child share their bike with a child who does not have one?
Yes, with your permission.

What should my child wear to take part in Bikeability?
In most cases, your child may wear their normal school clothes, suitable for the season and weather. Excessively loose clothes may be hazardous and should be avoided. In colder months, warm layers and gloves are recommended. High visibility tabards will be provided by BikeRight.

Does my child need a cycle helmet?
Helmets must be worn on all sessions.
