FREE COFEEE on arrival (tres important) from St Ali North
Free bicycle tune up and fitting session from Velo Cycles
A story sharing session lead by our Pushy Woman host
Instruction on basic maintenance (ie - how to determine if your bike is safe to ride, and when it's time to take it to the bike shop for some love)
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
A ride back to St Ali North for a delicious lunch if you care

Best of all, if you aren't able to transport or ride a bike to our starting point, the good folk at Velo will hire one to you for the whole day for the discount rate of $20.
