April 8, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
For Youth Week, we’re encouraging young people in the Inner West to jump on their bikes and enjoy cycling in the local area.
Join a guided cycling tour along the Cooks River, while learning the safest and smoothest way to get around. Led by Pedal Set Go, bike education experts, the tour will enable you to update your knowledge of road rules, bike safety equipment and how to plan your route.
The tour will stop at various points of environmental interest along the Cooks River.
