Hello! I’m Nicole Pachal, and this summer, my team of iRide Instructors and I are building upon our successful 2021 spring to offer community programs in Terrace, BC. Our program aims to help young riders learn new skills, build confidence, make friends, and appreciate the challenges of outdoor exercise.

A minimum of 6 registrants is required to run this event. Registration closes 3 days before the event and parents will receive a final pre-event email from the lead instructor at this time. In the event of postponement or cancellation, program fees and transaction costs will be refunded.

Do you want to improve your leadership abilities, master advanced biking skills, and learn how to teach cycling to various ages?
This multi-week summer program is designed for experienced bike riders who are seeking an opportunity to accumulate leadership and coaching skills that help them pursue volunteer or work opportunities in their cycling community. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow and make an impact, sign up today and start your journey in cycling coaching and leadership.
Now in its 4th year, our 2021 Leadership Program will take advantage of brand-new modules made available for the NCCP Community pathway to include online on-demand and online-facilitated learning throughout August. The program will then meet in Squamish for a 5-day camp with practice teaching and daily mountain bike rides on local blue trails.
This program will be facilitated and led by Cycling BC’s Head of Coach Development and iRide Manager, Ben Chaddock, and supported by local guest coaches and instructors, including Jaime Hill.
After completing the iRide Leadership Program, participants will be ready to coach kids under 11 in a community or school setting, with supervision or oversight by an adult Cycling BC member (see Coach FAQ for age matrix).
The program is valued at $1000 and available to Cycling BC Members for $700.
Thanks to our generous donors and sponsors, financial support is available to families that can demonstrate a need. To apply, please submit a cover letter to iRide@cyclingbc.net, explaining why you wish to participate in the program and include 2 references from your local cycling community.

Program Details:
Our Aug 23-27 Zoom calls (3:00 pm – 4:30 pm) will be used to build camaraderie and support participants as they move through the NCCP modules. Participants should expect 30 minutes of assigned homework between each call.
The Aug 30-Sept 3 (9:00 am – 3:00 pm) Squamish camp will include a daily bike ride of 2-3 hours and 2-3 hours of practice coaching, as per the illustrated table below. During the morning of September 2nd and 3rd, we will aim to host a public session with local Squamish children, providing an opportunity for Leadership Program participants to instruct children in a mentorship environment.

A 3-day event for grade 4+, the HopOn in-school program (formerly iRide) helps students learn basic cycling skills and safety awareness during gym class. Each class receives three 45-60 minute training sessions over three days with the goal of all children achieving skill level 3. In addition, we provide bicycles and helmets for children between 4′ to 5’5″ feet tall at no additional charge.
Our curriculum matches the BC Ministry of Education’s Prescribed Learning Outcomes and targets students in grades 4 to 6. We teach on all-weather fields, grass fields, and paved areas. The program helps students who already know how to pedal on their own. However, those still learning will work with their teacher, with support from our staff, to fast-track their skills and confidence and join the rest of their class when they’re ready.
