Delivering inclusive cycle training – a good practice guide for disability cycle training

The National Standard for Cycle Training has been devised to give children and adults the skills and confidence they need to ride their cycles safely and well on today’s roads.

With the continuing integration of disabled children into mainstream education, and with the ongoing promotion of cycling amongst both children and adults, cycling instructors are increasingly encountering trainees with a range of disabilities during their work in delivering the National Standard.

This guide aims to ensure that cycle training for both children and adults is inclusive, by equipping instructors, and in particular new instructors, with the knowledge, confidence and potential strategies they might need to deliver effective cycle training to disabled people.

The guide also challenges the attitudes regarding what individuals with different
disabilities can achieve through National Standard cycle training that is properly
adapted to their needs. The case studies and anecdotes provided illustrate how individuals can achieve their full potential when provided with the right equipment, training and support.
