iRide Vancouver: Bike Camp

iRide Vancouver, in partnership with Concord Pacific

Spend your summer days mastering new bike skills with Cycling BC’s iRide instructors.

In partnership with Concord Pacific, this 5-day camp is designed to help riders build the skills and confidence to use local bike paths and explore the False Creek area.  Each day will include a skill, a game, and a bike ride in the area.

Open to ages 7-12, Skill Level 3-4. Rental equipment is available upon request. Bicycle storage is provided by Cycling BC.  All sessions are covered by Cycling BC’s insurance policy with Gallagher. Pre-care is available from 8:30 am onwards.

New for 2021, all riders who register at least 2 weeks before the camp start date will receive an iRide custom athletic t-shirt, perfect for riding in the summer heat, plus our vinyl sticker kit and skills matrix report card. Learn more about this new exciting perk@ cyclingbc.net/irideswag.
