Learning the cycling ropes

By Hollie Harris

If the beginning of spring has inspired you to get into our great outdoors, it’s time to dust off your bike for a cycling refresher course.
Council’s TravelSmart team is bringing the Basic Cycling Skills for Female Riders course to Nambour for the first time on Sunday 10 September.
Division 10 councillor Greg Rogerson said the showground was a perfect location to safely learn the ropes again and regain your confidence on two wheels.
“Experienced trainers will take participants through all the basics from checking your bike and gear is safe, to manoeuvring and signalling appropriately,” Cr Rogerson said.
“The session includes getting reacquainted with your bike, safety requirements on and off road and how to make your gears work for you.
“They say it’s just like riding a bike, so now it’s time to test that theory.”
Basic Cycling Skills for Female Riders
When: 9am-11am, Sunday 10 September 2017
Where: Nambour Showgrounds, Coronation Avenue, Nambour. Main Entrance via Showground Way.
Register today for any of TravelSmart’s cycling workshops by searching ‘cycling workshops’ on council’s website. Workshops are free. Bookings are essential. BYO bike and helmet at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
If you like to continue your refresher by attending the Basic Bike Maintenance workshop at Nambour Library on Thursday 14 September at 5pm (no bike required) go to the library’s website to register.
