When I did Cycling Proficiency in 1979 we were given a little booklet called "Skilful Cycling".

I was very disappointed to find it contained no mention whatsoever of no-hands riding or wheelies.

When I did my cycling proficiency in, er, 1968(?), there were far too many turned up at the first session - so they grouped us all according to age and sent the youngest ones away home on their bikes...

Not necessarily, when I did my Cycling Proficiency, sometime between the two dates above (;)), I wasn't allowed to cycle there on the road, so I used to push my bike down the lane to the practice area in the park.  I was only allowed to cycle home on the last occasion, after I had passed. :thumbsup:

When we did ours in Denmark everyone had already cycled to school. And the last drill/test we had was to go out on a 2 mile loop on our own, where at 4-5 places on route was someone hidden checking up on us. And if we got the pass ok from all the secret posts we had passed. But with or without the diploma/cycling license we could still ride where ever we wanted.

I failed mine ,,, twice  :( The first one was because I had just moved to the area and did not know where to go when the instructor was telling us the route. The second time I was bored and just played around too how much I could get away with.
