A free and fun cycling safety workshop has seen both children and adults out on their bikes and gaining biking confidence - and there are more opportunities on the way for those who missed out.
The Love Your Bike! Cycle Safety Workshop, held at Kuirau Park yesterday, was run by workshop intructor Hugh Bootten and the Rotorua Library.
Mr Bootten said the workshop involved looking at fundamentals including braking, controlling the bike and changing tyres.
It also went through a full safety check of bikes and fitted helmets.
Mr Bootten said one of the exercises involved applying the brakes, which was not about stopping fast but with control.
