Cycling school: social and circular
As a social enterprise, we strive to make a positive impact on society. We promote circularity and sustainability, but we also believe it is essential that as many people as possible can ride their bikes safely. For people who are entitled to a concession, we offer our courses at a greatly reduced price. In this way, we make bicycle training accessible to various target groups.
Recovery course: basic and advanced
Each lesson in the repair course consists of a theoretical and a practical part. This takes place in the workshop in the Watermolenstraat in Kortrijk, where a hoist system is available for the students.
Both courses consist of 4 lessons each (19h – 22h) for € 175 (incl. VAT). Each time with approx. 15 minutes break.
Registration
After registration and payment, you will receive an email with detailed information about the course and directions to the workshop on Watermill Street.
