You're thinking that it's time to get back on a bicycle - but it's been a while and you aren't sure that you are ready. It seemed simpler before...but now there is more traffic, a few aches & pains, and more things to consider...
* What is the right bike for me? Are there other options?
* How do I ride safely on streets? What are the traffic rules for cyclists?
* Where are the nice routes to ride?
* What if something happens to my bike while I'm riding?
* Are there any recreational riding groups for people like me?

About Bike Freedom 50+
Bike Freedom 50+ is an exciting new program in Victoria that encourages older adults to take up cycling - for fun, fitness, recreation, to do errands, visit friends - or just because they can!
The program builds on the successes of the 2017 pilot project "Bike Freedom 55+" - one of a number of pilot projects made possible through the CRD's People Power initiative and funded by the Victoria Foundation and the CRD Traffic Safety Commission.
Offering a variety of workshops, training options and customized support, Bike Freedom 50+ has everything for the older adult who wants to start cycling again.
It is coordinated by Joyriding of Victoria - a small local business that focuses on educating beginner cyclists.
In 2018, Bike Freedom 50+ is sponsored by the Fairfield Bicycle Shop
All workshops, lessons and rides are centered at The Five Points
in Fairfield at Moss and Fairfield
