BIKES IN SCHOOLS<br />

The aim of these workshops is to train the<br />

teachers to deliver cycling-based lessons. Three<br />

Primary Schools in the Harbour Region received<br />

Learn to Ride teacher workshops:<br />

- 25 teachers from Upper Harbour Primary<br />

School<br />

- 35 teachers from Whangaparaoa School<br />

- 28 teachers from Albany Primary school<br />

A range of activities and skill-based games were<br />

delivered and the teachers were thoroughly<br />

engaged throughout. 100% of participants felt<br />

confident to apply the skills/knowledge from the<br />

workshop.<br />

delivered cycle skills training at Albany Junior<br />

High School to 342 year 8 students for the first<br />

time. 12 students learnt to ride a bike. Prior to<br />

Northcote Intermediate Grade 1 and Grade 2 Cycle<br />

Skills Delivery<br />

In November <strong>2017</strong>, Harbour Sport partnered<br />

with Auckland Transport to deliver a successful<br />

Introduction to Road and Everyday Cycling<br />

Programme to the year 7 students at Northcote<br />

Intermediate. Harbour Sport has built a great<br />

relationship with this school over the last three<br />

years. To date over 500 year 7 and 8 students<br />

have received cycle skills training at Northcote<br />

Intermediate. This provides an excellent<br />

foundation for increasing cycling in this area<br />

coupled with the cycling infrastructure that is<br />

planned over the next few years.<br />

This delivery again provided further opportunity<br />

for Cycle Instructors to gain more experience in<br />

delivering on-road, grade 2 training with more<br />

experienced instructors and assessors.<br />

All students received a full day of training<br />

beginning with off-road skills before applying<br />

road knowledge and skills learnt on the road in<br />

the afternoon.<br />

195 year 7 students, with 5 beginner students,<br />

completed the programme.<br />

RIDE LEADER WORKSHOP<br />

In November 12 adults attended the Ride Leader<br />

workshop held at Harbour Sport. The purpose of<br />

these workshops is to encourage those<br />

riders into starting up and leading their own<br />

group rides.<br />
