The Boy did his #Bikeability Level 2 training recently, and so far it's made an obvious difference. He's doing his ABC check, getting on the bike from the near side, is more deliberate in putting his bike on the road, and makes more obvious surrounding checks.
I've been telling and showing him these things for years and he's been a good, careful rider. Still, just one day with an instructor has made a clear difference. Now it's just a question of what sticks and becomes good habits.
Had to raise our voices to be heard on Monday!! π π π

Very much enjoyed a recent 99 Percent Invisible episode where talk about the history of turning The Netherlands into the #BikeAbility powerhouse we know today. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/de-fiets-is-niets/ - especially the creation of the CROW Design Manual for Bicycle Traffic: https://crowplatform.com/product/design-manual-for-bicycle-traffic/

My eldest is having #Bikeability level 1 in school today (cycle proficiency training for those not in UK).
Can't wait to hear all about it and am wondering if she'll pick up any new skills.
We've been discussing how #wheelies are not part of bikeability unfortunately.
I have comments on this video. #Walkability #Bikeability #Tulsa
