HopOn kids cycling program
Last update: April 8, 2022
HopOn is a games-based cycling program run in partnership with Cycling Canada. The goal is to help school-aged kids develop basic cycling skills and safety awareness.
The program is run across the country, including here in the Yukon.
Who is HopOn for?
If your child can ride a 2-wheel bike for 60 pedal strokes without stopping, they are ready for HopOn. Their bike also needs to have working hand brakes and gears. They need a helmet.
What skills will your child learn with HopOn?
- Starting and braking;
- Straight-line riding;
- Scanning and signalling;
- Turning at different speeds;
- Positioning and wheel lifts;
- Dismounting and remounting;
- Bumping and buzzing;
- Gearing and cadence;
- Climbing and descending; and
- Riding off a drop-off.
Our instructors will tailor the focus of each session to the age and ability levels of students. Our sessions are conducted within the safe confines of a traffic-free environment.
