While much has been written and researched about peoples perception of cycling and infrastructure it is good to see this research from Salford University with Bikeright! recognising cycle training as a valid intervention to encourage riding in current conditions.

(One interesting point relevant to many 'on here' is that this demographic, while feeling confident, still ride in a manner that is riskier than riding as per the cycle training national standard, yet are least likely to take up training #stillleftfiltering)

More research about the effect on school pupils riding bikes after Bikeability cycle training:
http://www.tabs-uk.org.uk/further-than-the-end-of-the-road-bikeability-linked-to-more-children-cycling-to-school/

Compared with untrained children, the survey results show trained children reported they cycle more often, cycle more to school, cycle more on the road, cycle with more confidence on the road, and enjoy cycling more. The pattern of these associations provides reassurance that most children filled in the survey forms carefully during class time, as for example children who reported that they enjoy cycling more are likely to be both more confident and cycle more.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
