Workshop: Biking Safely

More and more people are choosing bicycles as their mode of transportation for daily trips in Leuven. That’s fantastic, but it also brings new challenges: more (and more diverse) cyclists unfortunately also means a higher risk of accidents. Defensive cycling reduces those risks.

Defensive cycling means reading traffic, recognizing hazards in time, and adapting your riding behavior intelligently. This
ensures greater safety and confidence in traffic.

In this theoretical workshop, we will start with an overview of the basic rules (the cyclist’s position on the road, right-of-way rules) and then move on to tips for defensive cycling. Participants will discover how to avoid major risks and gain insights into their bicycle,
cycling behavior, and risk perception.

Date and time: June 9 - 18:30-20:30
Location: International House Leuven - Tiensevest 60

After this session you will have the chance to purchase the theory information packet from the biking school, this includes the link to the videos explaining the traffic rules. Participants can pay a symbolic contribution of €10 (via QR code), which is directly invested in teaching people in vulnerable situations how to ride a bike.
