Bike For Life

About this program

BEEC Bike for Life Program aims to promote the benefits of cycling for students and teachers by focusing on improving health & fitness, enhancing mental well-being, increased independence, and highlighting the positive environmental impacts of cycling. The program is a great way for your school to engage students who may ride to school with important Road Safety Education resources.

The bicycle safety education component promotes safe and responsible cycling by providing students with opportunities to develop positive attitudes to safe cycling. The program focuses on an understanding of the cyclist's rights and responsibilities, safe defensive cycling techniques for both individual and group cycling, an understanding of the mechanical operation of the bicycle and the need to maintain it correctly.
