Cycling Proficiency for the 21st Century

Bikeability is the Cycling Proficiency Test for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. There are three Bikeability levels and children will be encouraged and inspired to achieve all three levels, recognising that there is always more to learn and to enjoy on a bike.

 If you've had bikeability training please tell us about it.

Fill that hole!

The CTC has launched two new services to improve conditions for  cyclists:
Fillthathole.org.uk enables you to report potholes on line. They report it to the right council. If they don't fix it in a reasonable time and someone else is injured the site provides evidence that the authority were aware of the fault.

Clearthattrail.org.uk provides a similar service for blocked rights of way.
