It is a national scheme, funded by the Department for Transport and run to national standards.

Children will typically start Bikeability lessons once they have learnt to ride a bike: Level 1 will help new riders to control their bikes Level 2 will help develop on-road skills and is usually tackled by children in Years 5 or 6, before leaving primary school Level 3 teaches trainees how to ride in different and more challenging traffic situations and is usually completed by children of secondary school age Bikeability Grant Funding allows the training to be delivered across the whole North Northamptonshire area. Cycle training in Northamptonshire is currently outsourced to a single contractor and is delivered via the Government's Bikeability scheme.
