Bikeability evaluation 2021-2024

This study adds to the evidence base demonstrating the positive impact of Bikeability including:

• Research commissioned by the Bikeability Trust in 2024 shows that English local authorities with higher levels of Bikeability Level 2 training are experiencing lower rates of serious road injuries and fatalities.
• An independent evaluation of the impact of Bikeability Scotland Level 2 training on education outcomes in 2017 found a positive increase in cognitive, psychomotor and affective learning domains.
• A 2015 study by the National Foundation for Educational Research observed that participants that took part in Bikeability Level 2 training in England scored significantly higher on the hazard perception assessment than children who hadn’t received training.
• A study commissioned by the Department for Transport  published in 2019 found positive impact on cycling frequency and parental confidence for pupils completing Bikeability Level 2 training.
• Research into parental attitudes by Cycling Scotland showed that 82% of parents are more in favour of letting their children cycle after completing Bikeability Scotland training. [Cycling Scotland’s ‘Give Everyone Cycle Space’ campaign survey May 2016]
