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.

Upcoming Courses

Youth courses will resume in early 2023, Bike Skills courses are currently on hold for winter off-season of 2022/23. From February-October, we hold Youth Bike Skills Courses at local community centres.

This is a 6 hour course that alternates between 45 minute segments in class and on bikes.

The in-class portion of our course focuses on:

Traffic rules and the principles of safe cycling
Cyclist rights and responsibilities

The on-bike portion of our course will improve skills such as:

Emergency stopping
Bike handling
Signalling
Shoulder checking

The course concludes with a guided road ride where participants practice their knowledge and skills through various traffic situations on quiet, residential streets.
