Ready to Ride: Empowering the Next Generation of Cyclists
Build safe cycling skills, confidence, and the joy of riding for BC Grade 4–5 students. Supported by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure through the Everyone Rides Grade 4–5 initiative, we aim to provide universal cycling education to every student in British Columbia.
On Your School Grounds
Our trained instructors provide the gear and expertise to bring our Ready to Ride basic bike skills program directly to your school’s Grade 4–5 students.
Unit 1: The Basics (45-60 mins) – An interactive classroom or online lesson focusing on helmet safety, bike parts, and essential road rules.
Unit 2: On-Bike Skills (70-90 mins) – Hands-on practice on school grounds featuring simulated traffic, intersections, shared pathways, and maneuvering drills.
Evaluation – We gather feedback from teachers and families to continually improve the program and support cycling culture in your school community.
