The Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, Jane Davidson, has announced plans for a national cycle training standard across Wales in a bid to improve safety and the take-up of cycling amongst children and young people.

The Welsh Assembly Government plans to invest £250,000 to train more than 100 instructors to teach the new standards across Wales.

The aim is to increase the number of qualified instructors that can deliver cycle training to a consistent standard that prepares children and adults to cycle on today’s roads.

Further information is available on the Welsh Assembly Government website.
