Cycling- fun and safety

Being able to ride a bicycle provides a great deal of freedom, both as a means of transport in everyday life as well as leisure.

Trygg Trafikk is an organization that works with traffic safety, for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike.  Being able to ride a bicycle is both a physical issue and an understanding of the traffic picture.   Trygg Trafikk has a venue called  "Sykkelgården".

Meeting point: Varatun Gård, Varatunhagen 51, 4317 Sandnes (parking lot and Bus stop close by)

Trygg Trafikk has kindly offered to  host this event for Stavanger Chamber International members (adults), making sure more people who want to better their bicycling skills are able to practice in a safe environment.  The target group for this session are beginners and people who are at an early stage of bicycling, with the aim being increased skills for balance and safety.

Trygg Trafikk has very skilled instructors. At this event you will meet Gunn Rita Dahle Flesjå,  many times world Champion in terrain cycling. She knows all there is to know about balance, and regional manager Ingrid I. Mæland,   This is a unique opportunity, and the session will take place in English.  Bring you own bicycle and helmet. Dress properly due to weather conditions.   Trygg Trafikk has a few bicycles for loan, if you still don't have your own bicycle.   Bicycle pick up Varatun Gård.

Teaching for adults only this time. If parents are safe riding a bike, they might be good teachers for their kids after the session, and can bring kids back for practice at a later stage.

First come, first serve, max 10 participants. Please let us know if questions, Inger Tone Ødegård.

 

We will forward a note to all participants prior to the event.
