Learn2Ride Online
Learn2Ride Online is a free web-based course that helps children ages 9-12 yrs learn about basic cycling safety. This online course is based on HUB Cycling’s Learn2Ride program, an in-school course that has been completed by over 25,000 Metro Vancouver students. With in-school learning changing in the last few years, Learn2Ride Online helps youth and their families learn skills to cycle safely and confidently around their neighbourhood.
Learn2Ride Online is hosted on the popular education platform, Moodle. The course has been developed in collaboration with TransLink and the Ministry of Transportation and Transit and is offered free of cost to public schools and residents of British Columbia.
Designed for those 9-12 years old, it covers:
- Parts of the Bicycle
- ABC Quick Check
- Locking a Bicycle
- Helmet and Safety Gear
- ABCs of Bike Safety: Awareness, Behaviour & Communication
It can be completed at home or at school, at any time, from any computer or device with an internet connection. The content has been kept straightforward and interactive in hopes of being a self-guided resource for young cyclists. Think: a Spot the Differences game teaching bike safety gear, and a Memory Game for road signs. It has been designed with a Grade 4-5 audience in mind, although we believe it could extend to older audiences up to Grade 7 and other beginner riders. We can also provide a teacher's guide with worksheets for teacher-led enrollments.
