Gain More Confidence On Your Bike
Want to learn or gain more confidence in riding your bicycle - to uni, for fitness or just for fun?
All students are invited to take part in a Bicycle Road Safety and Skill Improvement Course. Training is provided through AustCycle - a government-backed initiative offering quality cycling training.
The next UOW course starts on 29th June, and other courses are also available.
Next course: 5 consecutive days starting Monday 29th June: 12:30pm-1:30pm each day
Venue: UOW Campus, Western Carpark
Cost: No cost to staff or students (unless booked but not attended*)
If you can't make it for this week, UOW has also negotiated for you to join in with weekend courses that the provider has available for the general public. These are also provided free to UOW staff and students*.
By gaining the confidence to ride you can:
- save money on petrol and vehicle costs
- reduce the difficulty of parking
- reduce your ecological footprint
- improve your overall health and well-being
- avoid traffic congestion
You will benefit from this course if you:
- haven't ridden before or for a while
- don’t have much confidence on the road
- ride regularly but would like to improve your skills for commuting
Skill Assessment
Skill levels of all participants will be assessed at the beginning of the training session and training will be tailored to your individual needs.
Bike Hire
You can bring your own bike or arrange to hire one from the training provider.
