National Training Rollout

The Play Together on Pedals Partnership programme involves the whole community.  Along with Cycling UK and Play Scotland, Cycling Scotland is committed to ensuring the legacy of the community-wide Play Together on Pedals programme.

As Scotland’s leading provider of cycle training, Cycling Scotland is able to partner with local authorities across Scotland to support nursery staff to develop as Play on Pedals Instructors.  This nursery-based training rollout is made possible thanks to support from Transport Scotland.

Play on Pedals Training provides the learning, skills and resources to promote cycling to early years participants in a fun and interactive way.  Developed with support from the Early Years practitioners from North Lanarkshire Council, Play on Pedals Training is an excellent resource for promoting outdoor education.
