Cycling coaching for employees and employers
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.
Cycling pays off
Research by the Working in Motion initiative shows that cycling increases productivity. By cycling, employees get to work, customers and partners smoothly. Traffic jam or public transport strike? Your employees happily cycle past them.
Moreover, as an employer you save on health-related expenses because the fitness of your employees increases and absenteeism decreases.
Cycling lessons through the company
De Fietsschool helps employers and companies teach employees how to cycle. We do this through a low-threshold series of lessons tailored to your employees' cycling level.
You provide:
- a safe and traffic-free training area
- a maximum of 20 participants per lesson series, for an optimal learning process
- one bicycle per participant
- possibly some helping hands to accommodate different learning speeds
We provide:
- an experienced bicycle trainer
- appropriate course material
- a proven approach that puts everyone in the saddle
Cycling safely, following all traffic rules
Learning to ride a bike is one thing. Cycling safely in traffic is quite another.
To ensure that employees set off safely and in full compliance with traffic rules, we offer companies and employers interactive workshops. That way you avoid cycling accidents before, during and after working hours.
Practical
Each workshop lasts about 2 hours. A classroom with beamer, pen and paper is all we need for these workshops. We take care of the rest.
Defensive cycling workshop
In this workshop, our instructor shares tips and tricks on how to cycle safely in traffic. We also teach workers how to maintain their bikes themselves and make minor repairs.
Road code workshop
The Highway Code includes all kinds of rules to keep traffic flowing and safe. This workshop explains the most important rules for cyclists, in clear and plain language. Also ideal for newcomers and foreign-language workers.
Both workshops as one package
Do you like to offer the information on defensive cycling and the Highway Code as one package? Then combine the sessions into a one-day Safe Cycling on the Road course, possibly extended with a short bike ride that links theory to practice.
"Why I wanted to learn to ride a bike? I am a cleaner. By cycling, I can help a lot more clients in a day. Just because I can get there more easily."
