'Bikeability courses for the Easter holidays'

Last year the Bikeability courses successfully trained over 1000 children and this year hundreds more across the borough will be throwing away their L-plates over Easter. Many Kingston secondary schools insist on pupils achieving Bikeability Level 2 before allowing them to ride to school and 11-year-old Emily Cooke the Junior Road Safety Officer at Burlington Junior School, is thrilled to have recently passed. Emily says: "The training has given me the confidence to be able to ride safely on the roads, and it makes the journey to school that much quicker and more fun!" The Bikeability courses are a combination of theory and tuition covering the Highway Code, bike-handling skills and most importantly on-road training. The Council now offers Bikeability Level 3 courses for children who have successfully completed Bikeability Level 2. Bookings are currently being taken for the Easter holiday courses which run either week starting on 7 April in various locations throughout the borough. For further information, or to book your child on one of the Easter courses, please contact the Road Safety and Travel Awareness Unit on 020 8547 5865 or email road.safety@rbk.kingston.gov.uk
