Cyclist skills training manual (New Zealand)

These guidelines, released by the NZ Transport Agency in July 2011, address cyclist training skills to prepare trainees to cycle confidently on the road. The guidelines have been developed to cater for a range of trainees and suit both school and adult training environments. The guidelines are based on a number of core skills to ensure that demonstrated ability is achieved.

The guidelines have been adapted to suit the New Zealand environment from the UK Bikeability programme established on behalf of Cycling England. These guidelines have been evaluated as best practice, particularly for providing practical cycling skills on the road.

The purpose of the guidelines is two-fold:
• to outline guidelines for a consistent approach for the delivery of cyclist training in New Zealand
• to outline the cyclist skill sets to be achieved in order to attain each grade.

The guidelines have been divided into two parts:
• part A outlines the set-up of the course sessions and core skills for cyclist training
• part B outlines the organisation and instructor training requirements.
