European projects in the field of active travel and sports SafeCycle4Kids concept is based on two principles that will increase the safetyand, therefore, confidence of young cyclists and their families:

• 1) Parental perceptions of children’s cycling and traffic skills are an important correlate of children’s independent mobility.
• 2) Increasing children’s cycling and traffic skills are important targets in cycling promotion among children. SafeCycle4Kids will focus on designing and delivering training on safe cycle to both kids and parents. Using parents as ‘mediators’ but also’ role models’, SafeCycle4Kids will overcome the barrier of feeling ‘unsafe’ and will ultimately increase the cycling uptake of kids and the whole family.
