Cycling PEI, Bike Friendly Communities and the Rural Municipality of Brackley are pleased to partner on a HopOn kids cycling course for kids aged 6-13 from May 15 to June 5, 2024 at Brackley Commons!.

What is HopOn? HopOn is a games-based program meant to introduce kids to cycling in a fun, safe, and engaging environment with NCCP-trained coaches. Learn more at www.cyclingpei.org/hopon.

The program will be taking place on the following Wednesday evenings from 6pm-7pm:

• May 15th

HopOn is designed for kids who already know how to ride and wish to advance their bicycle skills. Your child should be able to pedal for a minimum of 60 pedal strokes without stopping in order to be ready for HopOn.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own mountain bikes if they have them; Cycling PEI will also have a number of bikes to lend those who need a bike.

The program will focus on helping students improve their fundamental cycling skills through games and rides in the area. Students will be separated into smaller groups to ensure a high-quality learning experience for all participants. 

All participants will be be provided with sport accident insurance coverage during the program, and will receive a free Cycling for All membership in Cycling PEI, the provincial cycling association!

Registration cost: $10 (50% discounts will be provided to all children who participate in the one of our FREE May 4th Bikefests in Cornwall or Charlottetown (see cyclingpei.org/hopon for details). Please email us at hopon@cyclingpei.org if cost is a barrier.
