Denbighshire County Council is joining in the spirit of Bike Week (June 14 – 22) with a series of training activities for the county’s children.
Bike Week is an annual opportunity to promote cycling as a source of fitness and fun.
Denbighshire's Road Safety Team organises cycle training using the new National Standards (see www.ctsb.org.uk).  These replaced the old cycle proficiency, which many people will be familiar with, last September.
Over 500 young cyclists from 25 of the county's primary or junior schools have taken levels 1 and 2 training during this school year. This training continues throughout Bike Week at Clocaenog and Cyffylliog primary schools.
On Wednesday, June 18, Bryn Hedydd primary school, Rhyl, is holding a Cycle Fun Day for all the pupils, based on the national standards level 1 exercises and graded to suit each year group. This is being arranged by a parent, Barry Dunn, who is also an accredited instructor for the new training.
Level 1 of the new standards is a series of off road control and manoeuvrability exercises designed to ensure that the cyclist is safe to proceed onto the level 2 training which takes place on quiet local roads. The level 3 standard trains cyclists to ride safely in the complexity of the modern road network and traffic conditions.
Cllr Eryl Williams, Lead Member for Environment and Sustainable Development, says, “It’s marvellous to see our young cyclists on their bikes wearing helmets and visibility vests and getting the real road training experience which could enable  them to become regular riders as they get older.”
