Welsh Cycling & Frog Bikes launch the Cycling Skills Award

Frog Bikes and Welsh Cycling are thrilled to launch the new cycling Skills Award designed to help young cyclists improve their cycling skills and confidence.

The Skills Award is designed to support community clubs and schools in their planning and delivery of regular coaching activities and is accessible through Welsh Cycling's website. It offers a set of fun, engaging challenges, with instructional videos to aid in learning and mastering the skills.

For the awards program, children can master twenty-four key cycling skills across three levels to ensure they become confident, competent and safe on their bikes. Participants will also be introduced to the Skills Squad, a set of avatars to help bring the award to life.

Val Benyon, Head of Marketing at Frog Bikes commented “We are delighted to partner with Welsh Cycling on such an exciting project that will not only help get more kids on bikes but also enable them to learn and master new cycling skills that will last a lifetime. At Frog Bikes, it is extremely important for us to work with local communities, as we want to help foster a generation of healthy, active and happy children. This fun and engaging initiative is certainly going to help!”

Frog Bikes also helps to support clubs and schools by providing special commercial terms for bike fleets.

Director of Business Operations at Welsh Cycling, Rob Webber said: “I’m extremely pleased and proud of the work the team has done in getting the Skills Award live. We believe we have a great product to develop the cycling skill set of children across Wales, we’ve also worked hard to create a fresh, exciting and engaging brand, that we hope will resonate with the younger riders today.”
