Looking for a fun way to get active and connect with the community? The Lightfoot Initiative is thrilled to announce a special, free workshop: Learn 2 Ride: Beginner and Confidence Bike Lessons for Women. This event aims to empower women of all ages to discover the freedom and joy of cycling in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Held at the Queenstown Events Centre indoor courts, this women-only event is a fantastic chance to learn a new skill in a no-pressure environment. The best part is that it’s completely free to attend. Whether you’ve never been on a bike before or you feel a bit wobbly and want to feel more steady, we have a session for you.

Our qualified and friendly female instructor will provide personalised guidance and encouragement every step of the way. We’ve even got you covered with bikes and helmets, which will be available for all participants who need them.

You can choose from two different sessions:

  • 60-minute Beginner Sessions: For those completely new to cycling. We’ll show you the basics, like how to balance, pedal, steer, and stop safely.
  • 90-minute Confidence Sessions: If you can already ride but want to feel more steady, these lessons will help you improve your balance and control.

Learn 2 Ride: Beginner and Confidence Bike Lessons for Women is proudly delivered by The Lightfoot Initiative, with support from Central Lakes Trust and SkyCity Community Trust.

Event Details:
When: Friday, 3 October, 9am - 5pm
Where: Queenstown Events Centre, Indoor Courts
Tickets: Free, available at events.humanitix.com/learn-2-ride-bignner-and-confidence-bike-lessons-for-women
