StreetWise Cycling Online is a free adult cycling course that helps adult beginner and intermediate riders gain the knowledge and skills needed to cycle with confidence. This course has compiled key concepts from HUB Cycling’s catalog of StreetWise courses and presents them in a straightforward and interactive manner. By hosting it on the popular education platform, Moodle, participants can learn from the safety of their own space, at their own pace, on any device with an internet browser.
Learn about:
- Essential and helpful cycling gear
- Pre-ride ABC Quick Checks
- Route planning with bike maps
- Rights & responsibilities as a person biking
- Optional units on specialized bikes, such as e-cycling or e-biking safety and care

- Other helpful resources, and more!
The course can be accessed at any time, from any computer or device with an internet connection. We estimate it will take you approximately 1-2 hours to complete, which can be broken up into several sessions. You are also welcome to complete only those sections of interest.
