“Being Cycle Aware” is a half-day road safety workshop, which aims to
give participants an understanding of the issues that face cyclists every
day. It has classroom and practical aspects. The workshop consists of
the experience of cycling in “real” road conditions guided by an experienced
cyclist, and follow up discussion/feedback to review those experiences.
Biking is fun. Are you thinking about getting a bike for travelling to work, for weekend rides, or for your kids?
