BIKEABILITY LEVELS
Level 1
Develops bicycle control and signalling skills in an environment away from cars.
Level 2
Is taught on quiet local streets in real traffic conditions - those who achieve all outcomes will be able to make a trip to friends or school.
Level 3
Covers all types of road conditions - for example busy roads, traffic lights, roundabouts and queuing traffic.
Getting more people cycling, more safely and more often starts with letting as many people as possible know about all the benefits they can enjoy simply by using pedal power.

Mental Health - active travel helps to prevent anxiety, depression and stress which is encountered during academic peaks or in busy work environments.
Road Safety - a direct and valuable way of teaching children road safety skills offering greater protection for the rest of their lives.
Cheaper Travel - cutting out 1 mile in the car a day saves approximately £60 per year.
Increased Productivity - healthier and more motivated individuals.
Lower Congestion - better air quality, more vibrant attractive communities.

CTL supports the DfTs aims to ensure that more children and families are given the opportunities, skills, support and guidance they need to make cycling part
of their everyday life. Bikeability Plus is a series of 10 modules designed to complement and enhance the effectiveness of Bikeability Levels 1,2,3.
