Pedal It Forward

Give someone the chance to ride.

Pedal It Forward helps Canberrans facing financial hardship access subsidised places in Pedal Power cycling courses and programs.

Cycling should be for everyone

A community-powered way forward.

Pedal It Forward helps remove financial barriers that can prevent people from joining cycling programs. It can support a child learning to ride, a single parent building road confidence or an older adult getting back on a bike.

The program reflects Pedal Power's commitment to equity, diversity and a more inclusive cycling community across Canberra.
