Include bicycle proficiency in UK school physical education curriculum.

Petition Details

Physical Education educators to have training in Bikeability (BA), or schools to seek BA instructors, as part of curriculum.
Provide training to primary and secondary school students on safety, the highway code and bicycle use. Action local authorities to assign budget to this.

Additional Information

With an greater number of road users, particularly those on bicycles, it gives an essential understanding of safety for all using the current infrastructure.
This will promote safer transport in dense urban environments while reducing carbon emissions and boosting the economy.
More education will improve commuter experience through confidence, while also addressing national health issues as more children and their parents begin to cycle.
