Youth Bike Skills Courses

A comprehensive introduction to cycling through engaging classroom and on-bike handling lessons, followed by a fun guided road ride led by our experienced instructors. See below for upcoming 2022 courses.

Youth 10 – 15

A bike is a youth’s first vehicle; it can give them the freedom they desire, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility. Our youth courses teach traffic safety, cyclist responsibilities, and bike handling skills to develop safe cycling behaviours.
