Back on your Bike Ready to Ride
In this three-part series, we’ll guide you through the basics of getting ready to ride to work and show you what to expect from a workplace Back on your Bike skills refresher session.
Ready to Ride: Part one
Part one is an introduction to the program and covers some of the many benefits of riding a bike.
Ready to Ride: Part two
In part two, we’ll go over what you can expect in a Back on your Bike skills refresher session, how to fit a bike and how to do an ABC check.
Ready to Ride: Part three
The final part of this series covers the variety of bikes and how to find the right one for you, how to plan a bike route and some handy gear that can make your commute more comfortable.
Back on your Bike Skills Refresher sessions
Register your place in a small-group practical session. We’ll bring helmets and a variety of cycles including comfortable step-throughs, ebikes, mountain bikes and tricycles.
Everyone who participates gets a free 3-month membership with Bicycle Network so you can ride insured and access all the benefits that membership brings.
Skills Refresher 1
If it’s been several years since you last rode a bike and you’d like to get back on but feel a bit nervous, then this session is designed just for you.
- small and supportive group environment
- bike handling skills and basic safety checks
- short group ride in an off-road setting.
Skills Refresher 2
Being a commuter rider can be a bit daunting and this session acknowledges this by going slowing and concentrating on road-riding awareness skills relevant to the area you live and work.
After a quick bike safety check, we’ll ride quiet streets first before checking out busier urban terrain.
