Ok who passed their cycling profiency test?

I failed mine - because my familys dog at the time was out and about and came running up to me and knocked me off!!! I ended up having to take him home and when i got back they told me theyd failed me because of him!!! :D

I think its a good thing that there is something like this though because how many times have you had to dodge the kids riding their bikes on the footpath? This might teach them to stick to the roads but give them safety lessons. The only thing is though will the kids take any notice?

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

well ive never done one .....does that mean i cant ride a bike..lol!!!!:D

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

They stopped it just as I was old enough :mad:

I desperately wanted to do it as I loved riding my bike

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

Whats one of them then? :rolleyes:

Whats the point of having it when roads aint safe for bicycles anyway?

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I never took mine - mainly cos I never had a bike, only a scooter :)

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I passed mine in 1965 i think it was:rolleyes:

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I wasn't allowed a bike :(

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

Yes, passed mine. Great fun because we were allowed to ride our bikes to school and do it during lesson time.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

That's the same reason why i took mine. Passed.

We had to have little "L" plates on our bikes whilst we were taking the test.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I passed mine in 1966 when I came third in the Accringon and District Cycle Rally.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I never had a bike....well, until my sister went to Oz...then I bought her daughters bike, but I still havent learned to ride it. It hangs in the garage collecting cobwebs.(sigh)

Saddo that i am,ive still got my certificate -I passed on 26 July 1977.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

I passed mine in about 1977 or 78. It was done as part of the summer Playscheme which used to take place on Highams playing field. I have no idea what became of my certificate but I bet my mum or dad will have it somewhere.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

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

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

i seem to remember taking my bike into st nicholas' when i was there, maybe i passed maybe i didnt, who knows :D i love going out on my bike in the summer with reece....hence the footballers legs i have (or as my nan used to say 'rib crushers')

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

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

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

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.

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

Seem to remember doing some sort of official test, with my new Ladybird bike, in Peel Park playground, which would be around .... mmmmmmm .. 1951/52 !!, but that's all.. :rolleyes:

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

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

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

They still did them when i was at school in '94-i couldn't do it,my brother borrowed my bike the week before (without asking) and buckled the wheels :rolleyes:

Re: Who passed theirs?
 

Does any menber know where I can get some wheels fitted to my Zimmer frame?

Re: Who passed theirs?
