During Bikeability Level 3 training, you will learn the skills to tackle a wider variety of traffic conditions than on Level 2. When you reach Level 3 standard you will be able to deal with all types of road conditions and more challenging traffic situations. The course covers dealing with hazards, making ‘on-the-move’ risk assessments and planning routes for safer cycling. Normally you will do this once you have started secondary school. You will be trained in smaller groups of up to three cyclists, although individual training may also be available in your area.

Once you’ve completed your Bikeability Level 3 and been awarded your green badge and certificate, you’ll be able to cycle almost anywhere and:

— Make a trip safely to school, work or elsewhere on any roads

— Use complex junctions and road features such as roundabouts, multi-lane roads and traffic lights

— Make a trip safely to school, work or elsewhere on any roads

In complex junctions, you will ride through with an instructor before trying it yourself.
