I am helping the Gold Coast City Council to help you ‘change the way you move’. Available FREE to our local community are numerous cycling workshops facilitated by accredited instructors. With nearly 50 to choose from, at locations across the city, you can feel encouraged to get going on a bike, learn the fundamentals, build confidence & safety, become a better cyclist, learn more about road safety, gain valuable tips on how to clean & maintain your bike, repair punctures, and you can then soon enjoy the many benefits that cycling provides.
