A bike ride afternoon for the ladies!

Did you know there are all sorts of tips and tricks that we simply didn't learn when we learnt to ride that make a world of difference? Perhaps it's been years since you've ridden a bicyle and you learnt to ride a bike when you're a kid. Or you ride a bit and want to gain more confidence from a coach. Perhaps like me you learnt with your parents or sibling running beside you or with training wheels until you were simply left to your own devices? And even now as a mountain biker I always have things I can learn.

The afternoon is all about you upping the fun factor when riding your bike and giving you the confidence to enjoy hidden gems around the Gold Coast like The Spit trail and riding with other fun women doing the same.

Why join the Pixiato Play team for the afternoon

• Ride with and explore with some seriously fun women
• Guidance of an experienced fun coach - we've teamed up with Mountain Bike in Paradise
• Become more confident with your bike handling and gear changes
• No pressure to go at crazy speeds or do crazy things (I'll be practicing not falling off - keep an eye on Instagram for that one)
• Learn the basics of how to take care of your bike and setup specific for you ...without any mansplaining
• Learn to take care of your chain, change a tube, and an eye opener for me, why too much air in your tyres is as unhelpful as not enough, amongst other great things to know
• Learn simple body position and posture tweaks that can increase your confidence in minutes
• We are your own personal cheer squad and we're simply stoked to share our love and passion for women giving things a go without judgement
