The Bikeability Trust is finding the regional network groups to be an invaluable way to consult with and update the industry on a range of matters such as Bikeability for All, instructor training, staffing, the innovation fund process and of course doing our level best to support the industry through Covid 19.

We aim to continue to improve communication channels and invite feedback from industry professionals, whilst encouraging the sharing of good practice and problem solving within your regions through local support.

Two recent examples of shared practise came from the Eastern regional group, who reviewed their approaches to risk management and agreed to adopt the same approach, and the South East regional group had shared ratio ideas and lesson plans for delivery in the context of Covid 19.

We would particularly like to encourage grant recipients to get involved with their neighbouring counterparts in these groups which are growing in value as they develop. Please contact your regional representative from the list below to get involved. If it is not clear which region you fall under, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing contactus@bikeability.org.uk
