Level 3

Bikeability Scotland Level 3 teaches children how to navigate more complex junctions and plan journeys effectively. It is aimed at Primary 7 pupils and supports them to make independent journeys and plan the quietest and safest route available. Level 3 training is delivered on road, on a route that has been risk assessed by a qualified cycle trainer.

Why is on-road training important?

You wouldn’t learn to drive in a closed car park, and it stands to reason you shouldn’t learn to cycle solely in the playground either. Every house in Scotland is connected to the road network, so all journeys will include a section on the road.  Learning in general is most effective when done in the target environment. So if you’re going to cycling on the roads, you need to learn on the road – it’s that simple.

Children who’ve passed level 3 will be able to:

*    Make a trip safely to school, work or elsewhere on any roads;

*    Use complex junctions and road features such as roundabouts, multi-

lane roads and traffic lights;

*    Use correct safety equipment and maintain their own bike;

*    Carry out their own personal travel planning.
