August 8, 2024
Are you looking for a supportive community of new riders to help you grow your cycling skills? Look no further than HUB Cycling’s Seniors Cycling Program, sponsored by Lime!
Register to build skills, and confidence and make friends with other seniors on their cycling journey. Over six summer evenings, you'll have fun covering topics like basic maneuvering, how to maintain your bike or plan the safest route in the city. Open to those 55+, our experienced instructors will help you develop your skills in a safe, community-oriented environment. By creating a community of older adults who are interested in skill sharing and group encouragement, we hope to build participants' cycling confidence enough that they can ride throughout the city in safety and comfort.
- This program will run over six, 2-hour sessions in August & September 2024.
- This program is open to seniors 55+ of any skill level, but geared towards beginners.
- The program will be tailored to the participants, but willl start with the basics of cycling and maintenance and culminate with group rides around the neighbourhood!
Program fees are $30+GST, which includes all six sessions and use of a bike or e-bike during the program. Subsidies are also available by emailing streetwise@bikehub.ca, please contact us if the cost is a barrier to participating.
