School Cycling Program

Providing bicycle handling skills and road safety awareness to grade 4 and 5 students, this program has become a key collaboration between the CV Cycling Coalition and School District 71.

Bicycle Skills

Based on the iRide program, our instructor Lauren instills confidence in new riders, learning the fundamentals of starting, stopping and maneuvering a bicycle. This portion of the program happens on day 1.

Bicycle Rodeo

Day 2 focuses on safety and practicing on-street situations at rodeo ‘stations’. A number of our volunteers assist with the rodeo, supervising the stations.

Helmets and Bikes

Thanks to generous support from the BC Cycling Coalition and other agencies, we are able to supply bikes and helmets to kids who don’t have them or forgot to bring them to school.
