Bike education

Bike education gives students the skills, knowledge and confidence to ride safely and independently. By integrating practical riding experience with road safety education, bike education promotes active travel and helps establish healthy habits for life.

How Your Move Supports Bike Education in Schools

If your school is registered and actively participating in the Your Move Schools program, there are several ways to access bike education each year:

Express your interest in bike education

Your Move’s free bike education program is designed for students of all abilities aged eight and over. Delivered by two accredited coaches, the program runs for four weeks, with weekly lessons lasting 45 to 60 minutes.

Each session accommodates up to 30 students and is typically delivered to a single year group (e.g. Year 4). If your selected year group has more than 30 students, multiple sessions can be delivered on the same day to ensure all students are included.

The four bike education lessons cover:

fundamental riding skills and safe riding techniques
road rules and awareness
bike handling skills
building confidence and independence.

Students are encouraged to bring their own bikes. Your Move provides up to 10 hire bikes at no cost for students who don’t have access to a bike.

Bike safety checks

Students should have a correctly sized, roadworthy bicycle that meets Australian standards, with well-maintained brakes, tyres, chains and gears. Parents and students are encouraged to check their bikes before lessons begin.
