Description

Contact us prior to booking to discuss suitability.

All of Bike On’s mountain bike coaching programs are about having fun in a low-pressure, supportive, and inclusive environment. We aim to foster a lifelong passion for mountain biking by encouraging kids to have fun, ride with mates, and progress their skills — all under the guidance of PMBIA-qualified coaches.

Our Race Team program is our most advanced offering. Many riders in these groups are already qualified junior coaches in their own right. The focus is on developing and refining high-level MTB skills in challenging terrain. Race Team riders take part in regular “road trips” to premier SEQ riding destinations, with transport provided.
