A very short ride down the Capital City Trail off road path to a private training space
A one hour lesson covering balance, braking, riding one handed (for signalling) changing gears, slow riding, starting and stopping
Tips and rules for riding in traffic including how to navigate intersections, roundabouts, car doors, trams (and tram tracks!)
High fives all round
