As part of a commitment to NZ's "Getting there-on foot, by cycle" plan, Land Transport NZ seeks a consistent approach to the delivery of cyclist skills education to encourage people to cycle more often. As a result, a core set of national guidelines have been developed to enable instructors to teach cylist training in both school and adult training environments.

Cycling England Annual Report 2007-08
An inspiration for New Zealand:
"In the foreword to our last annual
report, I referred to the day our
budget was doubled to £10m a
year as ‘a landmark for cycling’.
Just 18 months later, on 21st
January 2008, the Government
took the historic decision to award
£140m to Cycling England over the
next three years: not so much a
landmark for cycling as a genuine
endorsement of the role of the
bicycle in helping meet England’s
transport, health and environmental
challenges."
Includes funding cycle training for 500,000 school kids.
