Cargo Bike Confidence – On-Road Skills + Theory (3.5 hours)

$430 per person | Private session

For regular riders new to cargo bikes and looking to improve safety, handling, and traffic skills

Already riding but want to feel safer in traffic? Let’s take it to the streets.

This private cargo bike training session is for people who already ride a bike but want to grow their confidence using a cargo or e-cargo bike in real traffic conditions—for work, family, or everyday errands.

You'll start with an off-road warm-up and theory session, followed by an on-street guided ride to develop practical strategies for safer, calmer riding in your local area.

This session is ideal if you:

• Ride regularly and want to transition to using a cargo bike

• Commute, deliver goods, or carry passengers by bike

• Feel nervous riding a bigger setup in mixed traffic

• Want to refine lane positioning, signalling and visibility

• Have had a near-miss or bad experience and want support

What You’ll Learn

• Confident road positioning and intersection navigation

• Planning safer, lower-stress routes

• Riding with and without bike lanes

• Braking and gear shifting under load

• Safe starts and stops at junctions or signals

• Calm responses in unexpected situations

• How to ride predictably and be seen

Theory Included

Before heading out, we’ll take time to cover essential theory—rider responsibilities, road rules, and decision-making on different types of infrastructure.

Equipment & Location

• Bring your own cargo or e-cargo bike (electric or regular)

• Hire available for $200 (limited – please enquire)

• Helmet required

• We’ll choose a location that matches your goals—near home, work, or your usual delivery/school run route—provided there is a quiet traffic free area to practice control skills prior to heading out.

Book Your Session

This session helps turn experience into confidence. You’ll finish feeling more capable, safer, and ready to take on real-world routes with purpose.
