Join other local bike riders and learn the practical skills you need to start riding on the road safely and with confidence. The Urban Cycling Confidence course covers bike control skills and road rules, with time to practise in a traffic-free area. You'll leave with the confidence to start riding your bike to work, uni or your local shops or for the school drop-off! Sue from Northcote said the workshop perfectly addressed the things she needed help with, such as"getting on and off the bike (there is an easy way) taking corners, correct foot position, safe head checks, correct gear usage and hand signals to name a few." Sue would "highly recommend for anyone who loves to ride or wants to ride but needs a little refinement to get them going." When: Sunday 24 November, 10am-3pm (with half-hour lunch break) Where: La Trobe University Tennis Courts, Bundoora Cost: $15 concession; $25 full Use promo code DLB for 50% off those prices- limited places.
