Cheers to Another Successful Year of Bike Education

Our Bike Education team just wrapped up another successful year of bike education in schools, teaching HUB's Learn2Ride and Ride the Road courses. A remarkable 10,541 students from 16 municipalities increased their cycling skills and confidence through participating in our programs in 2019 - that's a 53% increase from 2018! Many of the participating schools were from outside of the City of Vancouver with more than half of participants from the Surrey School District. During the Annual Bike to School Week in May, we also saw a big increase in participation with over 11,000 students (a 27% increase over 2018) and 14% more trips by bike.

HUB Cycling measures the impact of our cycling courses by administering school staff and student surveys. Read below for the results.

Staff Survey Highlights

• 98% of teachers welcomed and recognized the value of HUB Cycling’s instruction

• 91% rated HUB’s quality of instruction as very good or excellent

• 52% of school staff said their school’s involvement in HUB Cycling’s education program has encouraged them to increase their own cycling habits

“The instruction, and lessons were fantastic! My students enjoyed the program so much! Very well organized and engaging! All students felt encouraged, motivated, and able to be successful.”
