This autumn, Cycling BC and the Burnaby Velodrome Club are partnering with the City of Coquitlam to help transport and introduce students to the thrill of Velodrome cycling.

This 3-week after-school program is funded by Sport Canada CSIA grants to help provide innovative and discounted cycling programs for new communities, and as a result, our 2023 programs are 100% FREE.

However, the program is for confident bike riders only (Level 4 and beyond) who wish to learn to pedal a fixed-gear bike, safely navigate the banked turns, and build enough strength to ride along the blue line and the rail. This skills-focused session provided rental bikes, helmets, and NCCP Club-certified instructors.

Students also work together to learn to ride the stationary rollers and understand group riding etiquette on the velodrome, building spatial awareness and consideration for fellow participants. As a result of this 3-week program, students may be invited to attend other youth sessions, including Wednesday and Friday fitness-focused sessions.
