Fietsersbond Tervuren is organising a special cycling workshop for adults who want to gain more confidence on the road. The free session takes place on Wednesday evening, 4 June.
And don’t forget: on World Bicycle Day, Tuesday 3 June, cyclists in Tervuren will be celebrated once again. Between 7.30 and 8.30am, commuters and schoolchildren crossing the new cycling bridge at the Vierarmen junction will receive a warm round of applause from Fietsersbond Tervuren.
On Wednesday 4 June, Fietsersbond Tervuren, in collaboration with Pro Velo, is hosting a free after-work cycling workshop for adults. The session is aimed at those hesitant to use their bikes for short local trips or for commuting. The goal is to offer practical tips and help participants feel safer and more at ease in traffic.
The workshop runs from 6.00 to 8.30pm in De Wilg hall at the Administrative Centre De Zevenster. Experienced cycling coaches from Fietsersbond Tervuren and Pro Velo will share advice on traffic safety and road regulations. Afterwards, participants will hit the streets in small groups to put their new skills into practice.
Jean-Pierre Goeseels from Fietsersbond Tervuren: “We notice many people find it difficult to venture into traffic by bike. With this workshop, we want to ease their anxiety and guide them towards safe and efficient cycling routes in and around Tervuren, or even for commuting to Brussels.”
Alongside the practical advice, there’s also attention for the social aspect of cycling. “On your way to work or the shops, you often bump into familiar faces. A quick hello or nod makes your day a little brighter. And anyone cycling through the woods to the office starts the day with fresh air and a dose of nature,” say the organisers.
Afterwards, there’s time to share experiences over a drink and a sandwich. Participants are encouraged to bring along friends or colleagues. There’s also a buddy system, where you can practise with a regular cycling partner — and you might even win a fun prize.
