Families can learn how to look after young riders when cycling on Guernsey's roads.
Guernsey families who want the confidence to cycle together this spring have joined a new Bikeability scheme.
The two weekend sessions this month are for people who can cycle, but want the experience of riding as a group.
They'll learn key skills like road position, signalling and how to negotiate road furniture.
Initially this will be in a school playground but the idea is to ride in small groups on the road with instructors.
The trial scheme is a collaboration between Traffic and Highways and the Health Improvement Commission.
Travel Officer Amy Woollaston says the sessions aim to build confidence:
"There are more and more families attempting it, so a programme like this is brilliant because it just gives people the confidence to know that they're doing something in the correct way and keeping the children as safe as possible.
"It's taking all of the guesswork out of it and saying here's where you should position yourself, here's where you should position your child.
"If you have two children, then you should think about having the younger one or the least experienced one closer to you, but always have them ahead of you so that you can have eyes on them as well as on the road and communicate with them clearly."
Amy says there is a cultural shift towards incorporating active travel into everyday life.
"We know that when families cycle together, the children are more likely to then go on and cycle on their own and choose active travel when they're adults.
"It encourages more people to think of active travel as the easiest and most pleasant way to travel."
The trial scheme this weekend is at St Sampson's High but pre-registration was necessary.
