About this Event
Bike Ed Instructor Training -
The Bike Ed Instructor Training covers the necessary skills and content for teachers to deliver the Bike Ed program within the school environment. Importantly it also provides the formal accreditation required to take students on a group ride outside of the school grounds.
The Bike Ed program is based around activities to keep the students engaged and provide specific teaching points to help teachers communicate the skills required to students as they require them.
The program gives children and adults the opportunity to learn about safe riding behaviours, road rules and riding in a shared environment. Bike Ed uses practical lessons to ensure riders have the physical abilities to ride safely and older students to ride independently.
