Invest in your local cycling operation
Do you want to build a strong, reliable cycling lesson offer as a municipality, organisation or school? Offer your volunteers a Train-the-Trainer. You invest in quality, motivation and continuity. Thanks to our Knowledge Base and formats, your trainers can continue to be supported, even after the training.
Strengthen your volunteer work and ensure that new trainers start working with confidence - in a way that works.
New to the Knowledge Base: defensive cycling in practice
Cycling is becoming increasingly popular - but safe street cycling also requires understanding, preparation and practice. Our new manual "Defensive Cycling in Practice" is specially designed for cycling instructors working with novice (and often non-native) adults. You will find clear themes, exercises and a downloadable presentation. Find out how to put your participants on the road confidently and safely.
Become part of our network
Veloten is the network for everyone working on cycling lessons. From local Volunteers to policy makers, from organisations to individual trainers. Our newsletter keeps you up to date with tips, news, inspiration and the offer in your neighbourhood.

Put seniors back on their bikes!
Cycling provides freedom, exercise and social contact - even in old age. But for many older people, cycling is becoming less natural. With our new offer Longer cycling, we give seniors a push to cycle (again) with confidence.
We offer:
- 🚲 An inspiring info session on cycling opportunities for the elderly
- 🚲 A practical cycling course of 5 lessons, focusing on safety, balance and bike control
Suitable for service centres, elderly associations and local councils who want to support their seniors in safe and active mobility.
Insight: Is cycling feasible for every type of learner?
In this case, we take you to a special education school, where every pedal stroke is a victory. Discover how cycling lessons there mean more than just learning to ride a bike: they build self-confidence, connection and perspective.
Looking for cycling coaching for your employees?
Not all workers can cycle smoothly and safely. That's a shame, because cycling makes people happy and healthy. Also in the workplace. Do you want to teach your employees how to cycle? Or do you want to work on the road safety of cycling employees? Then De Fietsschool is your partner.
