This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, we’re sharing how cycling supports children’s wellbeing. Research shows young people who cycle weekly report higher confidence, connection & mental wellbeing. We're helps children build skills for life — on & off the road.

Yesterday in Parliament, Wendy Morton MP raised vital access to cycle training. Thanks to Minister Georgia Gould for reaffirming Government’s commitment to Bikeability and active travel. Working together, we can help more children gain the skills & confidence to cycle safely. 🚲

🚲 Great news from St Hugh’s Primary in Oldham Council! Pupils now have a new shelter to keep cycles safe & dry – and Bikeability training is coming soon to build road ready skills & confidence. Could your school follow in their active travel tracks? 🚴🏫

We’re finalists in the Decarbonising Transport Awards 2026 🎉 Bikeability Club is shortlisted for Best Behaviour Change & Public Engagement, for its role in driving long-term active travel and carbon reduction beyond the school gate. https://www.decarbonisingtransportawards.uk/2026-award-finalists

We’re looking for a Director of Communications and Fundraising to help lead the next phase of Bikeability’s impact. Help us shape national communications, partnerships and policy influence. 📍 Remote 📅 Closing date: 15 February 👇 Apply below

We are always keen to welcome local changemakers to see what makes Bikeability so brilliant. 🚴 This week Julia Buckley MP was out in her constituency of Shrewsbury, to see Bikeability being delivered in a school setting and to hear directly from a teacher and local instructor about its impact.

Welcoming Julia Buckley MP to Shrewsbury to see Bikeability in action! Thank you to Harlescott Junior School for hosting, and to the brilliant Learn Cycling instructors for their high-quality cycle training—supporting pupils to build confidence, independence and skills for life.

2025 was a year to be proud of. ✔️ Almost 6 million children trained ✔️ Our biggest ever Cycle to School Week ✔️ Award wins, new initiatives and growing momentum None of it possible without the Bikeability family. Here’s what we achieved together 👇

Government's new Road Safety Strategy has launched — the first in almost a decade. With 4–5 lives lost on our roads every day, this matters more than ever. Here’s what it means for cycle training, lifelong learning, active travel and micromobility 👇

Too many children are missing out on life-saving cycle training - and we urgently need to reverse this decline. As Emily Cherry told BBC West Midlands, safer streets & cycleways aren’t a “war on motorists” — they’re how we keep children safe, healthy & confident.

Happy New Year! 🎉 2026 will see us reach an amazing milestone — 6 million children trained to ride safely with confidence. Here’s to another year of empowering young cyclists and safer streets for all! 🚲💚
