What is HopOn?
HopOn is a games-based cycling program that teaches school-aged kids across Canada the joy of cycling safely.
- Games-based | Our game-based skills curriculum makes it easy for both kids and instructors to enjoy their cycling experience.
- Skill-focused | Each HopOn session includes a skill lesson, a ride, and a game that helps participants discover what movements or “tricks” helped them master a particular movement.
- Accessible | For those who may not have their own bikes and helmets, we’ve got you covered with our available HopOn equipment. We do recommend bringing your own gear if you can, as it helps ensure you have a bike that fits you properly. Our HopOn bike fleet is suited for riders between 48 and 60 inches tall.
Administered by Cycling BC and delivered by Cycling BC’s community partners and local clubs, the HopOn program visits schools and supports after-school programs across British Columbia.
We can’t wait to see you ride with us!
