Why should I learn to ride a bike?
Those who learn to cycle can get around more easily, have more job opportunities, make new contacts and keep moving. So it's good for your health, your social contacts and so much more. Read why learning to cycle really changes your life.
Cycling gets you where you want to be
To work, to a friend or a girlfriend, to class or to the doctor.... With a bicycle, you can go out on your own. You are not dependent on other people. You choose where to go. Traffic jams, delays or strikes? That doesn't bother cyclists. The bicycle gives you the freedom to get around. That is very convenient.
"Why I wanted to learn to ride a bike? I am a cleaner. With a bicycle, I can help many more clients in one day. Simply because I can get there more easily."
Cycling is cheap
To travel by car, you need a car and expensive fuel. To travel by bus or train, you need a ticket every time. Or an expensive season ticket. To cycle, all you need is a bicycle. Nothing more. So cycling is good for your wallet.
De Fietsschool's cycling lessons are not expensive. By cooperating with cities and municipalities, we keep the price of our lessons as low as possible.
Cycling is healthy
On a bicycle, you are in motion. You use your arms and your legs. You breathe in the fresh outdoor air. That makes cycling healthy. Even if you're not sporty, by cycling you're still doing a bit of sport. Without having to go to the gym.
"Now I often ride a bike, my knees and back no longer hurt. Cycling is healthy and good for my body."
Cycling is good for our planet
Cars are polluting. They emit pollutants like CO2. And they make a lot of noise. Cycling is sustainable. When more people cycle, it becomes nicer to be outdoors. So on your bike, you contribute to a clean planet.
Cycling is fun
Cycling is also just super fun. During De Fietsschool's cycling lessons, you get to know other people in your neighbourhood. On your bike, you will meet friends, neighbours and acquaintances along the way. Fun, that is also what cycling is all about.
"I see a lot of people cycling. And now I can cycle myself. Now I belong."
