Cycling courses for adults

Nelson City and Tasman District Councils in conjunction with the Health Sponsorship Council are extending their popular adult cycling courses throughout the Nelson and Tasman region. Bicycle Nelson Bays (BNB) runs a regional initiative for cyclists who want to upskill or regain confidence riding a bike.

UpCycle!

‘UpCycle!’ is designed to boost the confidence of cyclists by teaching skills for on-road riding and negotiating intersections and roundabouts. The aim is to extend the distances people are able to ride and to promote regular cycling as a healthy and practical alternative means of transport.

What you will learn with UpCycle

The ten weekly UpCycle sessions in the Nelson-Richmond area are led by experienced cyclists who can help you:

  • Find the best routes from here to there – or just about anywhere!
  • Meet other new cyclists to get out and ride with
  • Learn how to cycle in traffic, through intersections and roundabouts
  • Feel safe and secure on your bike
  • Learn how to look after your bike

Social rides are also open to the public.
