- Be able to make simple adjustments and repairs at the discretion of the examiner, for example change a tire and tube, mend a puncture, replace a brake shoe and block, adjust the height of saddle and handlebar to enable a younger boy to ride the bicycle.
- Demonstrate that you know and observe the Highway Code, traffic signals, lighting-up times, road signs, national system of road numbering and direction, and that you can read a road map.
- Take part in a Scout activity which includes the use of bicycles.
