You have helped me completely conquer my fear of "the bicycle." I am comfortably able to navigate the bike paths and cycle with my family. I am able to go on a bike ride with my grandsons. YOU gave me that. I will be forever indebted. Thank you so very much.

Cycling in Vietnam

After three half days of lessons, I was riding confidentially. Riding with my kids this summer has been incredibly special for me. It's really helped get rid of that embarrassment that has always bothered me. Thank you Safer Cycling Calgary for your life changing lessons!
