Hop On Program
HopOn is a games-based cycling program that teaches kids across Canada the joys of cycling in a fun, inclusive, and skillful environment.
The HopOn national grassroots program aims to make cycling accessible to everyone across Canada. At Manitoba Cycling, we have incorporated the games-based learning approach into our cycling day camps, summer camps, and youth development programs. We are launching these initiatives into the community emphasizing fundamental cycling skills and safety. Our aim is to teach basic to intermediate cycling abilities, foster confidence, and unite youth through the joys and challenges of cycling. In Manitoba, HopOn serves as the introduction program before the Kids of Mud program, providing a foundational experience for young cyclist before they progress to more advanced levels of skill development.
