Instructions

These are the requirements you might be able to do to complete the Cyclist Activity Badge depending on what you have at home. Some of these activities you will need an adult to check your understanding and/or help you, but some you can find out or practice on your own first.

Things you could do, practice, or find out for yourself, before showing or explaining them to an adult:
Show that you can mount and dismount your bike properly.

Show how to keep your bicycle in a roadworthy condition. Why is it important?

Explain why it’s important to use lights and reflective clothing.

Explain why you must lock up a bicycle when you leave it unattended.

Explain the safety measures you need to take when you cycle in bad weather.

Make a poster to promote road safety to pedestrians or cyclists.

Ask (nicely) if an adult can help you with these:
Go for a short ride in a safe place to show an adult that you can ride safely and confidently.

Show you can clean and oil a bicycle. Show how to pump up the tyres and mend a puncture. (You might not be able to do this depending on what you have at home. If you can’t don’t worry, we can cover it on a Cub night when we go back to having regular meetings if you want to finish your badge).

Regularly use a bicycle, which is the right size for you, with a cycle helmet. So when you go out for exercise, and you ride your bike, make sure you always wear your helmet and fill in the Cycle Log sheet (you can create your own if you want to).
