Bikeability

Pedalite Supports Bikeability

Cycling has always been one of the most popular and enjoyable childhood activities and its popularity today continues to grow fast.  Bikeability is the Cycling Proficiency Test for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads.

While the safety messages about wearing a helmet and using front and rear lights on a bicycle appear to now be understood and observed by the majority of cyclists, most fail to be aware that 3 out of every 4 cycling accidents on the roads happen at or near a road junction where bicycles need to be seen from the side!   Just stop for a second and ask yourself what side lighting do you have on your bike ? Remember a reflector requires someone else to shine a light onto it to make it work

And lights are not just for the Winter! In the summer a dark rain cloud coming overhead can change the light to render a cyclist virtually invisible !  Do you get off your bike to turn your lights on when this happens ? Do you even have the lights with you and will the batteries be working ?

Pedalite 360 degree visibility pedal lights provide always on, side lighting that does not stop when you stop pedalling (as you do at road junctions) or when your batteries runs out (because there are not any batteries)

Bikeability Instructors

As part of Pedalite International's SHE campaign to ensure that these important safety messages are provided to as many children as possible, qualified current Bikeability instructors can receive a pair of KPL200 Pedalite 360 degree visibility pedal lights and optionally Pedalite toe clips for use on their own bike at half the recommended retail price by contacting Pedalite International.

To take advantage of this offer, qualified, current Bikeability instructors simply need to email Pedalite Bikeability Sales ensuring that you provide 1. Your CTSB number or a copy of your CTC certificate and 2. the Pedalite product(s) the wish to purchase i.e. 360 degree visibility pedal lights only or plus optional toe clips.

Pedalite will then email you back, following a quick verification process, with details of how to complete this very special offer for Bikebility instructors.   Pedalite are providing this offer to Bikability instructors via email as we know that during the day you will usually be taking Bikeability sessions and often unable to telephone or access computers during normal business hours, we hope that this is helpful to Bikeability instructors, however, always welcome feedback regarding our processes.
