(n=1345) Trained Untrained In 2014 a survey undertaken by The Association of Bikeability Schemes (TABS) TABS 2014 school travel survey found that: • Trained children report cycling more than untrained children • Trained children report cycling to school significantly more • Trained children report they are more likely to cycle on roads, less likely to cycle on pavements • Trained children report they are significantly more confident cycling on local roads with traffic In 2015 the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) found that: (NfER 2015 hazard perception and risk mitigation study) • Trained children were better at perceiving and appropriately responding to on-road hazards – significant and sustained effect • Children reported increased confidence cycling on the road after training – significant effect • But children did not report increased cycling frequency after training How effective is Bikeability? 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% O the road On cycle lanes On e pavement In parks / countryside Variety of places I don’t cycle Trained Untrained *within 1-3 weeks of training 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 Before Training After Training Comparison of mean pupil ability scores at baseline before training (phase 1) and immediately after* training (phase 2) Trained group Comparison group Hazard perception and appropriate response ability *within 2-3 months of training 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 Before Training After Training Comparison of mean pupil ability scores at baseline before training (phase 1) and immediately after* training (phase 2) Trained group Comparison group Hazard perception and appropriate response ability 6 7
