Cycle Safety Training and Skills

Meath LSP together with the Cycling Safety Skills School and the Road Safety Officer of Meath County Council teamed up to design a programme to promote safe cycling for primary school classes in Meath. In 2010, 24 schools participated with 1016 children receiving this safety training.

This training covers areas such as:

• Bicycle maintenance,
• Starting & stopping safely
• Turning on major and minor roads
• Shoulder checking, signalling and correct positioning on road

Part funding is provided by the Road Safety Authority and Meath LSP for schools wishing to avail of this course. Expression of interest forms have already been received from schools wishing to participate in the programme for the school year 2010/2011.

This positive initiative will be open to further primary schools in September 2011. Registrations will be taken on a first-come-first-served basis.
More details on this training course are available from Meath LSP at 046-9067337.
