Grab your workmates and register for a free cycle skills course with Sport Bay of Plenty.

• Is your workplace keen to encourage more staff to commute by bike, or cycle between work meetings?
• Have you purchased e-bikes for your workplace, but want to make sure your staff will have the skills to use them safely?
• Do you have staff that are keen to cycle, but are nervous about getting back on a bike?

To encourage more workplaces to get active, Sport Bay of Plenty is running free Be Cycle Savvy courses. A Be Cycle Savvy course is a great way to learn how to safely commute by bike, and for workplaces it's a great way to encourage staff wellbeing through physical activity.
