The cost is $75.00.
Level 1 (4-8 years)
Develops basic riding skills such as steering abilities, braking and a general introduction to the rules of the road. Please note that our program is not designed to to teach your children how to ride, but to help build their confidence and have fun while riding.
Requirements: Students must be able to stop and start on their own. We will no longer accept students with training wheels in this level.
The cost is $95.00.

Requirements
HELMETS ARE A MUST - a hockey helmet DOES NOT provide the same protection as a bicycle helmet. Helmets will be properly sized on the first day of class.
PROPER CLOTHING - our program runs no matter what the weather. Be prepared with warm clothes, gloves or mitts, rain gear, sunscreen, bug spray, cap, and proper footwear (no sandals and no open toes).
SNACKS - we take a break each day and all that we have on site is water. Please send a snack with your child. We do have a fridge on site for keeping juices/snacks cool.
BIKE HIKES - for Level 1, 2 and 3 only. No bike hike for Level 1T. It is important that your child bring their snack and extra clothing and sun screen (if necessary) in a back pack that fits, or a waist pouch, or some other SAFE carrying device. It will be up to the instructor as to the level of bike hike the students go on.
Our level 2 program hike is a longer hike and if the student is not a strong rider or has a single gear bike, the instructor has the option of placing them on the level 1 bike hike. Parents are encouraged and welcomed to join us on our hikes.
Community events
The Bike Safety Programs are also available to community groups and other events. Instructors will come out to your location. Call the Calgary Safety Council at (403) 287-2990 for further information.
