To further encourage people to take up cycling as a safe, sustainable and convenient transport option the City also offers a series of FREE courses to assist people to cycle safely. The Cycling in the City course is a free course available to any individual over 18 years old who is not a beginner. The course teaches low risk and responsible riding and is designed for people who can already ride but want confidence to ride on city streets.
