My Local authority / School makes a charge for Bikeability. Why should I have to pay for my childs training / badge?
Cycling is an important life-skill and a right of passage for most children, much like learning to swim. It not only provides additional skill and confidence, but can help to make your child healthier, fitter and happier. An award scheme is an important part of recognising the important achievement and milestone of a child learning to ride safely and well. In order that the award scheme is sustainable and long-lasting, a small charge is necessary to cover the costs of materials or in some cases to cover asmall proportion of the costs of the training itself. We believe that the small cost represents good value for money.
