The Bicycle
The Bicycle is a cycling school for adults and children based based at Breezeblock Café (www.breezeblock.co.za) in Brixton, Johannesburg.
We love bicycles and believe in their potential to make urban life better: for the environment, people and the city in general.
We’re dedicated to helping you learn to ride a bicycle.
LESSONS
It’s never too late to learn how to ride a bicycle! We have taught children as young as 4 and adults as old as 60, and hope to teach someone of 70 soon. Most students can ride after the first 2 hour lesson – it’s easier to learn than you think in a controlled environment using the right teaching approach.
You can learn at your own pace and build your skills and confidence.
We provide the following sorts of lessons:
Absolute Beginners
We will teach you the basics of balance, steering, pedalling and braking in a safe off-street location.
Confidence Building
Once you have the basics in place, we’ll take you out on quiet suburban streets to get used to riding on the road.
Commuting Skills
If you know how to ride a bike but feel nervous commuting in traffic, we can teach you the basics of road safety and even help you work out the best route for your most common destinations.
