About the event
This 2 hour course is a great way to get back into biking or to build confidence for riding on the road for the first time. The course starts with a skills session on the Sky Stadium Concourse (Access near Railway Station, up spiral ramp from Thorndon Quay) . After this there will be the opportunity to work on road riding skills on nearby quiet streets or go for a guided ride using Wellington's cycling infrastructure.
Skills covered will include starting and stopping safely, turning, looking all around and signalling, stopping quickly with control, where to ride on the road, passing parked vehicles, how to move through intersections and more.
Event hosted by Wellington City Council in conjunction with Pedal Ready
