Cycling Lessons

Riding a bike is one of the easiest ways to get around in the Netherlands, and for most locals it is the preferred mode of transportation. If cycling is new for you and your family or you are just out of practice, you may want to consider taking a few lessons. Our partners offer local cycling lessons focusing on balance, confidence and traffic safety, for adults and children.
