2. Games-Based Learning Approach: Teaching methods include interactive games that make learning engaging and enjoyable. This approach helps beginners grasp concepts through practical application and repetition in a fun environment.
3. Skill Development: The emphasis is on developing fundamental skills that form the basis for safe and enjoyable cycling experiences. Instructors provide individual attention to ensure each participant progresses at their own pace.
