Cycling Proficiency

[Cycleops]

Did anyone ever get one of these? I never did but I remember the police going around to schools testing cyclists:

Would it be a good idea to introduce it again? And what about for mature riders?

 

[Rocky]

Yup....got mine in 1964

 

[alicat]

Yes, I passed in about 1969/70 but I don't remember getting a badge or a certificate.

 

[rogerzilla]

My certificate says 1979.

It's Bikeability now, I think.

 

[weareHKR]

I remember it well, 1970 - failed! 😭😭😭

 

[Smokin Joe]

Always seemed a big waste of time to me.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Yes I passed it. The badge was metal.

 

[Cycleops]

Seems there were a couple:

 

[weareHKR]

Yes, I remember the one i didn't get was definitely triangle shape!

 

[Archie_tect]

I got the lower triangular one... when I was 9.

 

[PeteXXX]

Triangular one here, too.. I still have it

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Triangular one for me also. Means I get a discounted cycling uk membership fee.

 

[Reynard]

Yup! About 1985.

Still have my badge *somewhere*

Round here there is still cycle training in primary schools (in normal times) and our cycle campaign provides free confidence training. No badges or certificates though, but you've got me thinking @Cycleops ...

 

[Oldhippy]

Around 75 for me. Vaguely remember a badge.
