Passport To Safer Cycling

Lancashire's child cycle training scheme is entitled 'Passport To Safer Cycling'. It is modular and follows good practice by providing training that is progressive and can be developed from off-road to on-road.

The scheme is designed to enable young cyclists to develop a greater understanding of road usage and to ride with an improved degree of safety, thereby reducing the risk of road accidents. The course is available to children aged 10 and over.

The Road Safety Group provides training and support for adults who lead the course.
