Are you already a bike rider, and looking to boost your confidence when riding in traffic?*

Do you want to start commuting to work or uni? To accompany your children to school by bike?  To ride to the local shops to pick up some groceries? Or to ride and meet friends at a local cafe? 

If so, consider joining this small group workshop for women, run by a female instructor. Please note these workshops will be run in accordance with all applicable and current State Government COVID-19 restrictions and requirements.

The workshop covers:

  • route planning 
  • road rules relating to bike riding
  • defensive riding techniques 
  • road positioning
  • navigating through intersections and roundabouts 
  • turning right
  • riding with trams

The first part of the training will take place in a traffic-free area where you will refine your bike control skills and discuss on-road scenarios. You will then take part in a ride on local roads to put what you’ve learned into practice.
