Bike It
We operate a cycle training scheme called ‘Bike It’. The scheme contains four elements and is offered to Primary 5–7 pupils to help them become safe cyclists who can use roads safely:
- Primary 5 – Ready Steady Bike.
- Primary 6-7 – The Scottish Cycle Training Scheme (off-road training).
- Primary 6-7 – The Scottish Cycle Training Scheme (on-road training).
- Primary 7 – A Planned Journey.
This programme is a joint initiative between road safety officers and active school co-ordinators, and couples a healthier lifestyle with road safety priorities.
Danger Detectives
The importance of cycle helmets is dramatically highlighted at the Council’s annual experiential learning event held at Dean Castle Country Park in Kilmarnock.
Primary 6 pupils find out the dangers of falling from your bike when your head is unprotected.
