Bike Skills

Our Bike Skills programme within schools follows national Bike Skills Guidelines covering bike safety checks, legal requirements, clothing choice and safe riding techniques. It is a whole new experience for many students. Bike training enhances students cycling skills and teaches them how to ride their bikes safely and confidently. The school training is fully funded by Auckland Transport. For schools outside this region, please approach your own regional council.

We believe bike skills are vital for our tamariki. Alongside Auckland Transport we are happy to deliver Grade 1 and Grade 2 Bike Skills across the upper North Island.

Grade 1

Using your school courts we look at the basics of cycling. Developing knowledge of cyclists safety and working on the fundamental skills required to ride safely on the roads.

Grade 2

Over 2 days, we begin in your school grounds starting with the Grade 1 skills. Using a ratio of 1:6 with a qualified instructor, we use these skills in scenarios that are experienced in real world situations. After the students are confident with these skills, we take them onto local, quiet roads around your school using junctions to develop good habits and awareness.
