Where are you at with your riding?
I want to learn to ride
Starting from scratch, or getting back on after a very long time.
I want to ride better
From the basics through to bike handling, road riding and group riding.
I just want to ride
Social rides and chances to get out and enjoy your bike.
Something for my child or school
Learn-to-ride and bike skills for kids, plus school and kindy programs.
Want to start with something free?
I deliver free cycling workshops and social rides across the Gold Coast through selected council programs. Small groups, accredited instruction, no cost.
Why me
I won road race gold at the Athens Olympics in 2004. That’s the line that opens doors, but it isn’t why people come back.
What I actually do is teach. Most of the adults I work with arrive nervous — some have never ridden, some had a fall years ago and never got back on. My job is to make the first hour feel safe enough that there’s a second one. Everything else follows from that.
My biggest fear was failing or hurting myself. Sara made me feel the most important thing was to have fun, learn to ride, and have confidence in doing all of this.
