Starting a cycling school
With proper preparation and planning, your Fietsschool will get off to a smooth start. So think carefully before you start, and take all aspects into account. We will help you on your way.
Administration
For smooth running of cycling lessons, keep good records. Work with attendance lists and cycling reports to evaluate your lessons afterwards.
Logistics
From course equipment to teaching bikes: to give cycling lessons, collect all the necessary equipment beforehand. Here you will discover what all you need.
Communication and promotion
A cycling initiative involves a lot of communication. Both towards participants, partners and volunteers. Pay attention to that and make your teaching offer widely known.
Volunteers
Volunteers make your cycling initiative run. How do you recruit them? How do you welcome and frame them? And what tasks can they all take on? You will find out here.
Teach cycling
From keeping balance to giving way: a cycling lesson covers all kinds of aspects. Learn how to give successful cycling lessons here.
Road code for cyclists
Cycling together
After the lesson series, build a buddy collaboration and create a community of novice cyclists who help each other. Because cycling together is fun.
Aftercare and keep cycling
Learning to cycle is one thing. Keep cycling is the next challenge. Provide aftercare around bike maintenance and repair to turn your participants into truly frequent cyclists.
A bicycle of your own: buy, rent or share
In order not to forget cycling after the lessons, participants obviously need their own bike. They can buy, rent or share one. And you can help them do so.
Impact, monitoring and evaluation
Monitor your participants, evaluate your approach and go for maximum impact. Here we explain the best data to collect and how to approach impact measurement.
Fietsschool XS: Cycling lessons for children
