This Workshop is For Riders Who Want to Learn How to Safely Pick Up Their Bike if They Drop It
What to Expect
There is no riding involved. We’ll start with a short classroom session, then move into practical work, including:
- Understanding why bikes get dropped (and why it’s more common than you think)
- How hesitation and pressure play into it and how dropping a bike makes you feel.
- Manual handling
- Safe, controlled practice picking bikes up in a supportive environment
There’s no pressure to perform and no judgment. You’ll work at your own pace throughout.
What to Bring
You do NOT need to wear riding gear as there is no riding involved. Please wear:
- Comfortable clothing suitable for movement
- Sturdy footwear (recommended)
- Gloves (recommended)
- Waterproofs in case of rain
You do not need to bring your own bike.
But if you ARE bringing your own bike, and wish to use it for the practical exercises:
- It must be in safe, working condition
- You use it at your own risk
- We may advise using training bikes for certain exercises
