Bike Start SA (Australia)

BikeSTART was launched by Bike SA in September 2011. It is a free online tool that helps new riders to identify needs and barriers and provides guidance on what to do about them.

Users are guided through a series of questions, challenges, and self rating opportunities on aspects of cycling that are often perceived as barriers. These topics include bike handling skills, riding on the road, choosing safer routes, assessing your level of cycling awareness, equipment needs and road rules for cyclists.

At the end of the questions, users receive a tailored Ride Support Plan in an easy-to-read one page format.

Users also receive information about courses that teach practical riding skills.
