Learn to Ride Workshop and Bike Mechanic

Qualified mechanics provide a free mechanical assessment including minor repairs and adjustments to ensure that the bike is safe to ride.

The Learn to Ride workshop teaches children the skills required to advance from training wheels/balance bikes to riding a two-wheel bike independently with confidence and ease. This workshop is run by accredited instructors from industry experts CycleSense = Excellence and will take place at the Outdoor Courts in conjunction with the Mirrabooka Friday Markets, hosted by the City of Stirling.

During the workshop, kids will be instructed on how to ride safely, skilfully, and confidently on a two-wheel bike. Parents/guardians take an active role in assisting their child to ride a bike and receive valuable advice on how to progress their child’s riding experience.
