Bikeability org gets £10,000 Bike Hub grant


TABS works with the DfT to ensure quality of delivery of Bikeability adult & children cycle training  Bike Hub commits money to future generations


By Carlton Reid Harry Bickerton registered the patent


for his bicycle in 1971. An ex-Rolls Royce engineer, he wanted to design a bicycle that was “small enough to go into the boot of a Mini, light enough to hang on a hat stand.” Bickerton Portables will be on display


to the trade at The Bike Place at Silverstone in January and to the public at the London Bike Show in February. www.bickertonportables.co.uk


BikeRight hit the boards


THE BIKE Hub levy fund has made a grant of £10,000 to TABS, the Association of Bikeability Schemes. Bikeability is ‘cycling proficiency’ for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today’s roads. TABS, made up of Bikeability delivery companies, aims to work in the interest of Bikeability schemes, and represents the view of the professional cycle training industry in discussions and decision-making activities with Government agencies and other public bodies. TABS’s ultimate aim is more people taking trips by bike more often and more safely. Bicycle Association president Mark


Bickerton said: “Bike Hub is all about promoting the future of cycling. The Association of Bikeability Schemes is the perfect organisation for us to work with to secure the best possible return on our contribution from Bike Hub members' funds. Cycle training gets results that will last for generations to come.” Isobel Stoddart, the development


manager at TABS, said: “TABS is delighted to have been awarded a grant from Bike Hub. This year TABS has invested


“Cycle training gets resutls that last for generations to come” Mark Bickerton, BAGB


resources into developing our strategy for future growth, securing partners approval and involvement and building a strong new membership package. The grant from the Bike Hub will go towards essential core costs, including staffing, to expand our range of quality improvement services alongside campaigning activities.” Earlier this year, British Cycling’s Chris


Boardman welcomed the work TABS is doing:


“Being able to ride a bike confidently


on road, with minimum risk, is an essential life skill for an active and healthy lifestyle. Bikeability has an important role to play in giving people of all ages, especially the next generation of young people and their parents, the skills and confidence to make everyday trips by bike. If we want to transform cycling in this country we need to do all we can to make a difference and make sure that the government is taking us seriously. I welcome the role of TABS in putting pressure on the government to put Bikeability in the national curriculum, as well as the importance of continued funding for Bikeability beyond the term of this current government.” www.bikehub.co.uk
