    • Your instructor will teach a light version of the bikeability syllabus: control skills & how to snake together in the park, preparing you to cycle safely on quiet roads on day 2 as a group.

    Day 2 & Day 3: You have a few options, depending on your level: 

    • Cycle rides to discover new parks and quiet roads
    • Light cycle training to progress the whole family to a level 2, giving you the skills needed to cycle on-road safely at the end of the course.
    • Practicing routes from home to school and back
