I passed mine.

I was twelve, as I wasn't allowed a bike until then. Before that I just had my customised wheelchair, which I rescued from the tip, and for which you didn't need a cycling proficency test, just a big strong girl to push you up and down the lane.:D

Blooming heck, that was the year I qualified as a nurse.......that really makes me feel old!

I think they'd stopped it by the time I had a bike, think Lettie was in the Observer with her certificate in the 70's if my memory serves me well.

I suppose once you'd got that, you had a good excuse to be behind the bike sheds with the boys.;):D
