Cycle Safety Education

DSBN Cycle Safety Program
Heart Niagara believes that physical activity is one the most important cornerstones of healthy living. Cycling, although an excellent form of physical activity, can often be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not taken by cyclists and other road users.  

Heart Niagara’s Cycle Safety education (CSE) program aims to teach children about the importance of road safety through experiential learning & provide them with a channel to acquire the skills they need to operate their bicycle safely & confidently on the roadway, as a legal vehicle. We believe that when children become confident in their own cycling abilities, they are more inclined to cycle on a regular basis, which will encourage them to live healthy & active lives.

Bicycles are also an important part of today’s traffic scene, which is why safety should be the number one priority for the people riding them. By educating youth about bicycle safety, we are making a significant contribution to ensuring a safe environment for them to grow & live in!
