1. Bike Education
About this page
Most of us learned to ride a bike as a young child - it's one of those rites of passage for parents as well as kids. But there is always room for improvement, whether it's learning the road rules, learning to ride in a group, doing an emergency stop or maintaining your bike. And this applies whether you are 10, 15 or 50.
1. Bike Education Instructor Training
If your school is unable to offer Bike Ed to students because you don't have any Bike Ed trained teachers, don't despair! Ted and Maree at Wilcare Services train teachers in the accredited Bike Ed program.
1. FREE Bike Ed training on offer
Ride2School has identified Bike Ed as a effective way to get more students walking and riding to school, so we want to make it easier for schools to start a Bike Ed program.
2. Volunteers are available
If you are interested in running a Bike Ed course for your school or are looking for assistance with Ride2School activities we have over 100 volunteers that can assist you.
3. Avaliable Bike Education Equipment
Bicycle trailers are available at a minimum cost to schools and community organizations to assist with Bike Education. They contain bikes and helmets, (some with vests and dome markers).
4. Bike Ed Resources
VicRoads has great Bike Ed resources available. The new Bike Ed manual is now available. Have a look at what the kit contains and print out the order form.
5. Companies that run Bike Ed for you
There are a range of companies that can run Bike Ed for you.
6. Teach your child to ride
This method also works for teenagers and adults. Get rid of the training wheels, take off the pedals, lower the seat and they'll be riding in no time!
7. Why Bike Ed?
Bike Ed is a bicycle skills and road safety education program run by teachers who have trained as instructors. Each school has the same aim for their program - to get their students riding more skillfully and safely - but how they organise the course is an individual thing.
8. Instructional Video Clips
Watch short instructional videos to help you to keep your bike in tip top shape and to improve your riding skills.
