Cycle Right Programme
The goal of CYCLE RIGHT is to provide an excellent standard of cycle safety and skills training to all participants.
CYCLE RIGHT, offers
- Best-practice in cycle training, derived specifically for our unique environment
- Quality of delivery and an on-going quality assurance system to ensure consistency
- Guaranteed ratio of qualified, registered trainers to work with your groups
- A goal of on-road training as a core part of the programme
- Individualised feedback on defined outcomes for participants
- Resources for schools, teachers and parents/guardians to facilitate follow up and support to training
CYCLE RIGHT, will be delivered over three stages, with participants gaining skills and knowledge on a phased basis to prepare for cycling in increasingly complex road scenarios. As participants move through the stages of training, they take greater responsibility for their own journey:
- At Stage 1 (8-hour duration, ratio of 1 registered trainer to a maximum of 15 participants off-road, and 2 registered trainers to 10 participants on road), trainees undertake trainer-directed bicycle and road skills training mixed with theoretical and Rules of the Road instruction based at classroom and off-road locations. Stage 1 also aims to include on-road training in a local environment appropriate for novice riders.
- Stage 2 & 3 will be further developed and will be suited for children who have completed the first module only.
The Cycle Right program, coordinated and delivered locally by Leitrim Sports Partnership, teaches children essential safety and bike-handling skills. Participants will learn how to properly use helmets, perform bike safety checks, and navigate various road environments.
Our team of qualified Cycle Right instructors will visit your school to deliver the program, which is funded by the Department of Transport and Cycling Ireland.
