All About Bicycle Education

'All About Bicycle Education' provides a qualified Bike Ed and Cycle On Instructor and offers a complete structured Bike Ed Program for Primary Schools and Cycle On Program for Secondary Schools. In each lesson we provide the Instructor, Printed Handouts for Students to work through, the Bikes and Helmets.

Providing the bike ensures Students are on Bicycles that are properly maintained and that every student has access to a bike on the day. We cater for groups of up to 12 for Primary Schools and 24 for Secondary Schools, and if required can run continuous classes to cover all Students in the School over an agreed period.

Our Prices start at $25.00* per student for Geelong Region and $35* for Melbourne and other regional areas, for 2x2hr sessions (*minimum numbers apply). We use games and quizzes to help keep students interested and increase their information retention. Our aim is to unify the teaching of Bike Ed throughout the school years and simplify the application of the subject for Teachers, in order to widen it's coverage, thus increasing the chance of students gaining skills that may save their lives, and encourage them to ride for fun, fitness and transportation throughout their lives.
