How can I be properly trained?

Learning good cycling skills is very important if you are going to stay safe on your bicycle. The Department of the Environment organises Cycling Proficiency training in a lot of primary schools. During training you will be taught how to cycle safely and then you are tested on all of the things you have learnt. If you pass, you get a cycling proficiency certificate and badge. Ask your teacher about the Cycling Proficiency Scheme in your school.
