Cycling in the city course
Event location
Description
Organiser: Bikewise
Find the answers and build your confidence to ride on city streets.
Do you feel confident stopping suddenly?
Do you feel pressured cycling around moving traffic?
Do you know what to do when you get to a roundabout?
Do you get flustered signalling and turning right on a busy road?
Do you need help finding relaxed, quiet routes?
Course outline:
- Theory: rights and responsibilities, route planning, traffic and positioning theory
- In the park: bike control skills and practice
- Group riding: cycling in regular traffic to help you master sensible, effective and considerate positioning, and show the benefits of good route selection
On-street: typical scenarios faced by bike riders and how to handle different situations
What to bring:
- a bike in good working order. Instructors will assess your bike.
- a helmet
- water and snacks
- raingear if it looks like light rain
- a light jacket if it's cold.
Bookings required.
The course is suitable for 14 years and above. Children under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.
Wet weather: the instructors will make the decision at around 7am on the day of the program and will contact you by phone. As a rough guide, we will run the course in light sprinkles and cancel for dangerous weather.
We also run Rusty Riders, which stays in the park, runs at a slower pace and develops the skills and confidence to make cycling fun.
All workshops: $25
